Not yet, we're just trying to hammer out how we would the area under 
discussion to work.
I suspect it'll take a couple of weeks to let everyone have a say and arrive 
at a concensus, then we'll need to run it by the webmaster (Chris Cason) to 
see if what we've decided we'd like to do is viable on povray.org. Then, 
setup could take days or weeks, depending upon whether we need to create 
server-side scripts or anything sophisticated for submission, indexing, SDL 
validation etc.

There is the povray.binaries.scene-files newsgroup that you could use to 
publish your include file in the mean time.

Regards,
Chris B.
