povray.source-code wouldn't be any better, people would still think it 
was about scene source. povray.engine-internals is a bit over-specific 
and unclear.
With all the other groups available, you'd think people would find a 
better first group for the first try. Just a glance at the numbers of 
messages in each group would make groups like .general or .newusers 
better targets. Actually looking at the present activity in the groups 
or just maybe actually reading through some of the past activity in the 
groups (what a concept!) would show what they are for. Never mind the 
group descriptions...

Followups to povray.general.
