In defense of Ken it would surely be good to mention that maintaining a
1000+ links collection is probably quite a lot of work and you can't
expect every part of it being continuously up-to-date.  None the less it
would probably be useful to supply some form for submitting new links or
link changes and have the submissions included quite frequently. 
Including submissions without a review is surely not an option but if such
a submission form is connected with the user accounts on the povray.org
site certain parts of the link collection could also be maintained by
other users.  Apart from supporting Ken's work this could also increase
the bandwidth of topics covered by the link collection.

But as i understood it the original idea of this thread was something
quite different. A possibility to show ressources found on the net that
people can visit everyday to get new ideas and inspiration.  I think this
is something a link collection like Ken's can hardly offer even if it had
a full time maintainer...
