Hence, have judging so that people will pick out the coolest/best/ most
innovative.
Yet, wide open, so that people can see all the wild things that ARE
possible.  If it's limited to text, really why bother at all?

(IMHO, yes povray's strengths do include the ability to make photorealistic
renders from Poser, and super-advanced DXF modellers. BUT if I were to see a
box of povray in the store, and what I saw was exacting detail of the Taj
Mahal and a note that said that image required 100Mb of meshes, I'd be
ho-hum, next freeware please.   Seeing the VARIETY of what a genius can do
with a few lines is better, IMHO).


BTW:  I'm just one opinionated dork.  If someone more popular wants to
officially host it, by all means...
