This is a great idea. I did not dare to ask for this before because I felt it
should come from POV-Ray users so that no one would feel like Blender is
invasive or whatever. We do respect both communities and their singularities, I
know a lot of POV users don't feel like they need any graphical interface to it,
On the other hand, a lot of Blender users feel they ONLY need an interface and
don't ever want to see a text file to procuce images.

LanuHum, myself and only one more user, all came to try and bridge both software
because of the possibility the scene description language offered.

But as you see from lanuhum discouragement, there was little actual feedback. We
do need a more proactive user community to encourage development. I tried to
create a Blenderartists forum group but other than the said user, no-one ever
posted many questions, feedback, and more importantly, very few images of their
works in progress have been shown.

Here in the povray newsgroup we did receive warm encouragements, both LanuHum
and I, So yes maybe a newsgroup section would help to fuel this handreaching
effort in the long run. May I also suggest that image attachments be allowed for
it to emulate through created imagery, be they
beautyful or ugly :-)?
