In my discussions with Chris Cason, one of the issues he wanted resolved
was an easier way to produce the IRTC CD's. The new site is being
designed to make that process easier. I expect, therefore, that the
IRTC CD's will re-start once we get going.

Heck, yes, good one. <Steve looks for TINA's red rose again> ;)

As David pointed out, making the CD's was difficult - I guess primarily
because I didn't want to just dump the data onto the CD. I wanted to try to
identify the same entrant across all rounds and years (this was more
difficult than it sounds) so as to maintain a list of entries and results,
and I wanted to re-format the text entry files into HTML (again, more
difficult than it sounds, especially with the changes made to the files by
the IRTC submission system - stripping high characters, re-wrapping the
text, and so forth). In the end I just couldn't justify the time.

That sounds like the IRTC would benefit from a database where entrants
and entries are automatically collected. Such a database would probably
make it a lot easier to do things like you describe.

That's exactly what I'm working on. The database will be PostgreSQL and
it would track all contests (stills, animation, and others), all
rounds of the contests, all submissions, all users, and all voting
results. The site will be almost completely automatic.

That will allow easily creating interesting statistics as well.

Note that such a database already exists:

What immediately strikes the eye is the gradual decline of participants over
the years...
Is this loss of interest, or does it reflect the increasing complexity of
POV-Ray over the years, I wonder?

I think that the growing prominence of GUI-enabled CGI packages,
including freeware, caused many POV-Ray users to drift away from POV-Ray.
