I am a Gurwinder and love to work on Ray-Tracing. As POV-Ray is powerful
raytracer, I have asked many queries and got very good response from the
community.
I want to become a part of developer of POV-Ray.
I want to know that from where ( online or in documentation ) I came to know
about under-developing part of POV-Ray. Are there any upcoming tasks on which I
can work.
Thanks
There is no taste in success without failure.

As you are posting on the Unix newsgroup, I presume your development
expertise is primarily with Unix systems.
We definitely do need someone to take care of the Unix-specific portions
of the software, as at present the dev team is dominated by Windows
jockeys, and while they can find their way around the Unix portion of
the code if needs be, they don't have the time and energy to give it the
love and attention it deserves.
If you are also familiar with Unix build tools (be it automake or
otherwise), then a major overhaul of the Unix build process would be a
welcome contribution as well.
If you're good at 3D maths, there would also be some ray-surface
intersection tests and similar code requiring an overhaul (most notably
the sphere sweep primitive).
Trying to fix open bugs (we do have some of those) might also be a good
way to start into POV-Ray development.
Once you've familiarized yourself a bit with the POV-Ray code, there are
certainly enough other tasks to keep you busy ;)

Yes, I am a Unix user. :)

No, I am new to it. Its interesting to hear about 3D maths :P.

I am a beginner in POV-Ray. Is there any area which you want to suggest me to
start(by which I can enter in developers castle through C programming or using
three.js, a javascript 3D library ).

Thanks for guiding me in right way. Want to be busy with this great software. :)
Thanks

POV-Ray is written in C++, so experience with that programming language
is essential if you want to help develop POV-Ray.
You also need to be familiar with POV-Ray to some degree.
Based on your reply, maybe your expertise is actually more useful in
developing utilities, rather than POV-Ray itself? From your web page, I
gather you have done a bit of work on exporting from BRL-Cad to POV-Ray;
such an exporter - and further work on it - might make for a valuable
contribution to the POV-Ray ecosystem in its own right. As far as I
know, there's no other free professional-grade solid-geometry CAD
package with POV-Ray export out there yet.

Yes please! exporters need some love! With your background maybe you could make
good use of the communication dlls and real time mode to make BRLCAD much
modernised and show what POV is capable of.
Otherwise, if you prefer Blender, You're welcome to provide any change to its
POV exporter, provided they don't break its existing functionality you can reach
me through here or Blenderartists.org which has a POV-Ray forum group

Yes, I am working on it. Along with that I have done lots of things with BRL-CAD
in last months. But aside from that, I would like to work with POV-Ray community
on 3D maths.
As you suggested me to work on 3D maths for POV-Ray, I want to start my new
journey with it :). As it also helps in game development. I have started reading
a pdf for 3d maths
http://fivedots.coe.psu.ac.th/Software.coe/241-213/F.Dunn,%20I.Parberry%20-%203D%20Math%20Primer%20for%20Graphics%20and
%20Game%20Development.pdf
So I will feel so proud to work on it.

I feel so thankful to you for your reply. I would like to work for Blender too.
I am familiar with Blender but not that much. I feel very pleased to help the
community and I think, working with the great community on such topic make me a
good Blenderer too.
