  The 'human side' of the POV-Ray development would be a ton of work. It'd
be almost like editing a book, since much of the material would have to be
garnered from hundreds of posted public and private forum messages from the
old CompuServe GRAPHDEV and POVRAY Forums, as well as some private e-mails.
I'm not sure if anyone has archived all of those old posts or how far back
they would date if someone did have 'em. I mean, Drew Wells was long gone
well before I got a CompuServe account and others like Truman Brown were
starting to move on. I would sure like to read this myself but obviously
there is little commercial value to a project such as this, but quite a bit
of work involved.
