The POV-Ray team is pleased to announce the availibility of a new web interface
to these newsgroups. Amongst other things, it supports searching by author and
subject (not by content), inline display of images from the binaries groups, and
a thread activity digest (this excludes threads in off-topic).
Please keep in mind that this is a beta test. The URL is http://news.povray.org/
Note that cookies are required to access the site. The intro page you get when
you first access it explains why.

Great work!
Here are some comments and critics, that's what a beta is for.
* The logo is cool.
* The listing of newsgroups could list the number of messages
in each group (in small print).
* The dates in each newsgroup's thread listing would look
better with a fixed-width font.
* It would be great (but require some more work) to be able to
have a thread-tree display (the kind of which is used in
Netscape).
* The multi-group digest is insanely great. That, and the
easy access to the binary groups, is the reason I will
probably use the web access in the future.
* It is (or seems) fast. This is also great. Also note,
dear readers, that images don't have to be encoded to
survive mail/news transfer, and thus should take 25%
less time to transfer.

I hate to say anything bad, so, well, it looks ok, I guess.
I never have liked to see newsgroups that way. Is it ok if I just
continue to look at the newsgroups with netscape news/mail reader?

No, we will disallow you to read the newsgroups with any news reader and
if you even try to do so, we will ban you forever from every existing
povray.org site.
Humor aside, did you read the welcome message? I quote:
"This is not to say that you have to use this web interface. If you have a
news client software installed, and you can connect to the news server
directly, you can try both and decide which is best for you."

Ken, I DID read it. And as soon as I saw the interface I forgot
everything I just read and went *yuck*

Great. Any chance to link engine with some on-line POVRay machine to render
signatures on-the-fly? ;)
