This site is out of date. Apart from the index page many links are to 
non-existent sites. Already many tutorials seem lost. The idea looks 
good though.

The links here seem to work okay. Probably because most point to sources 
on the same server (povworld.org).

The Wiki-concept is IMHO worth considering. It distributes the effort of 
layout and maintenance to the individual contributors. Thus reducing the 
risk of content being dependant on one peron.

My initial idea of using Wikipedia is perhaps not a very good one. Their 
server is rather slow. But, ofcourse one could add a link to the 
tutorial pages elsewhere. I'm not sure whether the server of povray.org 
is capable of supporting this.
