Thanks! It looks like a neat contest; I'll check it out.

Maybe I expressed myself poorly: this really isn't intended to be a fund
raiser. The main purpose of this project would be to produce a reference
book for beginners and even advanced users of POV-Ray, combining the talents
of everyone willing to contribute sample graphics and tutorials.

The only reason I mention where I would like any profits from this to go is
because I want people to see this as a volunteer project. It wouldn't be
fair for me to create a book using other people's tutorials and images, then
publish it and keep the money.

Please don't refuse to contribute on the basis that this is just another
fundraiser. If you have a tutorial or image, or you know where one can be
found, please let me know.
