Happy New Year,

This posting is a follow-up to the discussions last year on setting up a 
directory on povray.org  for a collection of objects that anyone can freely 
download and use.

The plan is to now start building this. I've mocked up a simple prototype 
and Chris Cason has offered to set up an area on the server where we can 
construct what we need and integrate it with the server-side database and 
file system. We should also be getting a newsgroup where we can cover any 
outstanding issues and manage the setup and longer term operations of this 
facility.

You can help:
 1. One or two people with DHTML/Javascript, PHP and/or SQL experience and 
spare time over the next few weeks are needed to help with setup.
 2. One or more people will be needed to oversee the various parts of the 
collection once it's up and running. This means checking new submissions 
regularly to make sure they're well indexed, clearly described and correctly 
categorised, monitoring the newsgroup etc. This will need people with a few 
spare hours each week over the long term. Reasonably good vocabulary skills, 
but no particular technical skills are required for this (apart from an 
understanding of POV-Ray obviously).

Any volunteers?

Regards,
Chris B.
