Not everybody has a website, and it would be nice to have descriptions of
several people at the same place I think.

But The List of Ages already has that information. No need to dublicate that
work.

I personally think a linking system between webpages would be better because
there's already other pages that contain information about the POV'ers.

That's my point exactly. I knew about that website, and there's other
websites which also contains information about POV-Ray users. No need to
dublicate other's work. But maybe we could make a linking system that in a
smart way linked between the different websites.

I personally would like to make a website myself with short descriptions
(brief biographical info) of the different POV-Ray users. As far as I know
such a website has not been made already. The users could make their own
descroptions, or others could make them for them, but of course the
descriptions would always have to be certified by the person in concern.

The advantage of not having this as a part of the photo album is, that
people can submit the brief biographical info even if they haven't submitted
a photo.

So I think a linking system would be better. What do you think?

Greetings,

Rune
