POV Ray. If you are interested in joining the discussion please email me at

BTW You can join this group if you just want to monitor our progress and
give advice on where we are headed with the book project.

May I suggest that this sort of project would benefit from a
threaded discussion forum (e.g. news group), and would also
be available to more people if it were conducted on a news
group ?

If enough users in povray.general indicate they think this
would be beneficial, I would be prepared to create a new news
group on this server dedicated to the topic of POV-Ray books
(and perhaps also one for documentation in general).

If I did that, you would be welcome to use it instead of a
mailing list.

I think the idea of having a group dedicated to documentation / tutorials
(writing, not requesting) / books, etc is excellent.  I don't know how much
I would contribute personally, but I think it would be a valuable resource.

Good idea IMO, but i think one group for both together would be
sufficient.

Mailing lists are threaded. Perhaps you're just using software that
doesn't display mail threading.

I like the idea of a newsgroup devoted to books and documentation. My list
is a private list for people working on our specific title so I see a need
for both.
