Hellow,
I have cuple ideas that may improve POV (possibilities, speed, 
comfortablens). Is this a good idea to send here (or on .general) such 
"future requestes" ? I like to add some ideas how to implement it, maybe 
write small parts of C++ and ofcourse beta-test it.

But I don't want (yet) to write POV code itself - I dont have time :/ I can 
think about new futures in bus, when watching TV etc ;) but when i'm 
working on PC, I usualy only have time to fastly start some render in 
background and not to recompile pov...

Will my 'work' by usefull ? (when ideas will be interesting is there a 
chance that somebody will code it, or help me to code it ) ?

The group povray.general would be the best for feature requests or 
suggestions, this group is for discussion about the actual source code.

If someone with coding ability finds your idea interesting and it is 
feasible, it stands a chance of being implemented.
