I think a common group for all 3rd party tools would be a good idea 
(povray.tools or povray.utilities).   This way it would be easier to 
adapt to tools becoming more popular and others less.

Having a quick look at the postings in p.general, p.newusers and 
p.advanced-users there would be at least 5% of the postings suitable for 
such a new group.

A rule to add a prefix like [poser] to the subject of new threads would 
make it possible to set preferences in the newsreader.
