This mistake is understandable, though... the description of this group on the
official POV site says: Programming with POV (incl. GUI Extensions)

Programming with POV can either mean programming FOR POV, as is interpreted by
the group, or programming IN POV, as was interpreted by the first poster.

It is something you cannot know a priori, only a posteriori.

I made this same mistake. As a matter of fact, I only realized specifically what
the group was for with this last post. I had also assumed it was both.

Ah well... maybe the description on the POV site whould be updated, save a little
confusion. :)
