Yesterday evening two non related things happend, Warp posted "A small
problem with the VFAQ" and I had my first encounter with a WikiWikiWeb.
It took until this morning, on my bicycle to work, for the coin to drop.
The VFAQ, the french tutorial project, the discussions earlier this year
about setting up a macro/inc.file repository, the texture repository etc.
The discussion on the restyling of the Pov-ray site.
How about setting up a Pov-ray WikiWikiWeb.
For those who don't know (I didn't until yesterday), a WikiWikiWeb is a
site that can be editet by everybody. You can submit your own text, edit
somebody elses text (pages can be locked though) etc.
The mother WikiWikiWeb:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors
Info:
http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiWeb
another example:
http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/1
I have no idea how much it would take of the Pov-ray server, or how much
effort it takes for the maintainer of the site.
I think it would be an excelent place for a "community driven" and
"available source" piece of "free" software.

So which of those things aren't available on this news server? OK you can't
edit other poeples messages, but apart from that?
Nobody says that you can't post a texture or macro in the the scenefile or
utilitis groups etc. You can post your images, comments, source code,
utilitis, animations etc.

Easy acces.
To find something on this newsserver is not easy, most people probably
only can search headers, not the body. And you'd have to search several
groups.
Take for example bicubic_patches, a while ago Ron explained to me how they
worked. At that moment I thought this should be in the doc's. Where there
a Wiki thing parts of the thread could have been put up there. Editet by
visitors. Recently Rune asked for some specific use of patches. The
information this brought up could then easily be added. Without a big
effort a good tutorial is made.

So what you're saying is that the people who post here don't use accurate
subject lines, these same people would be adding the content to the web
space that you talk of (probably adding zipped up code that you can't
search).

Again same as I said above, but I am able to search the whole messages
and groups and clusters/sets of groups (but this is no place to harp
on about a superior OS).
I'll have a look for the stuff on bicubic_patches for you and report
back to this thread.

No. Not everybody has the possibilities / capabilities to do a thorrow
search in a newsgroup.
Sorry Steve, but I'm having a little :) here, thank you for proving my
point altough you intended otherwise (see Ron' post
<slr### [at] fwicom>).

I have no idea if it's possible to do that.

It's more a matter of abilities and decision of the user. I decided to
keep nothing from this server on my machine because of my current lack of
space. When I'm looking for something, the newsserver can search the
headers, on a per group basis, for me.
On a side note: in real life I encounter many people that are completely
WWW oriented and have never used USENET. It scares them somehowe and a
private newsserver is even more scary?
