I had about forgotten this existed.
I noticed a common grammatical error in the Experience page.

Honoree: Someone who has one [won] an Honorable Mention or better

I'm not much of a contestant but I did get a Weekly Pick at AOL long ago,
that count?  I am a long-term Dabbler though, not sure Honoree sounds like
me.

The Copyright page might be a bit confusing where it says in part 1 that
nothing will be sold, yet then in part 2 it is opposite.
I get the idea but not sure everyone would.

And later it says submissions will be available to "sponsors":

"...permits sponsors that have been authorized by us to use your images to
demonstrate their products and services ; however, sponsors are not
permitted to sell your images."

Hopefully that won't deter too many people from submitting stuff,
considering that's like letting others profit from your work.  Again, I get
the idea but not everyone would probably.
Maybe at least making it more prominent that this is all a benefit for the
POVing community could be more convincing.
Nevermind, didn't realize the banner says that right on there, and I looked
at the home page again.

Wow, that POVRay Hut club at Yahoo! is stark.  I've been to the POV-Ray
group at Yahoo! [ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pov_ray ] many times in the
past and lately it has slowed there too.
