I'd be willing to process the odd slice/tile data, _but_, since I have no
interest in the data itself (only in "community support" :-)), I would not want
to register etc.  my suggestion is that you'll organise the whole thing a little
like SETI or Folding@Home, that is, I'd go to your website and find an archive
with the necessary POV-Ray, sed, etc scripts, and a form where I'd enter (with
email) a request for one slice/tile, and receive, by return, either the data
attached or, preferably, a link so I can 'wget' the file.  added advantage would
be no inadvertent duplication of work.
