It is in the works.

It is likely that even if we discontinue many of the older textures we
will have them available for download as a single archive. Rene, the
originator of the site, plans on maintaing the Texture Library in it's
current form on his home page so it will not be dissapearing in the
immediate future anyway.

seems, a lot of work is to be done in this matter, but I wish to
encourage you to go on.
You're on a good way IMO.

I have a lot of energy for this project and I will continue pushing it
until it is completed. Sharing the load with 5 other people over the
internet kind of slows things down a bit but the group effort will pay
off in the long run (Now I know what a miracle POV-Ray itself is).

Thank you.

    Good thing! Just -responding- to all those posts would have -me- ready
for a nap! I look forward to seeing the results.

Might try publicizing it more. This is the first I've heard of it.

  Once we rewrite the site you will probably get tired of hearing
about it :)

Y'all sure talk funny!  I mean, shoot, boy -- everybody else
in 3D graphics uses "texture" to mean an image texture map.
Except for us VRML folks who also have movie textures and a
queer duck called a pixel texture.

Which got me to thinking about Aaron Walsh who's working on a
Universal Media Element library for VRML: 
http://www.web3d.org/WorkingGroups/media/ -- which contains or
will contain a whole passel of the other kind of texture.  I
have no idea whether there's any possibility of synchronicity
there, but it might be worth thinking about.

I imagine a number of folks might like to contribute some of
of the heightfield images they've made over the years if
there were a central place to put them.

Just some random thoughts which involve no work at all for me
and lots of work for other people.

Sounds good to me. Very good.

As for textures, I'd have to go with the majority views I've read so
far (need searching, more interesting textures, yadda yadda) and
confirm tha tI too am pretty dire at texture design. However, the one
texture I've made that I'm happy with (and any future ones) the group
is welcome to (it's a "vortex swirly thing" texture that changes with
the clock. Scaling and shape of "tube" it's applied to would
definately have a distinct affect on how well the texture "comes
out").
