  For my own part it is not that I am not interested but I worry that it
will a be a duplication of a work in progress by the TAG. We have a lot
of plans for a TAG related site at povray.org that is going to contain
many of the features previously avialable at twysted.net. It's going to
take a while to get it organized but it will happen this year. It is
for that reason I did not speak up and endorse Gregoire's idea and I
suspect that the other TAG members have kept quite for similar reasons.

  We have already obtained permission from the POV-Team to make these
resources available at povray.org and have been promised more resources
as needed. With this in mind I am sure that you can see that where
Twyst had mentioned that he was going to add these resources to
povray.org and failed to follow through the TAG has every intention
of succeeding in this endeavor and even now we are actively working
in the background to ensure that is does. We hope to have the Texture
Library online by sometime early next month and we should have the
TAG home page online shortly thereafter. Once we get that done I
hope to have an Iso Surface Library and a Macro Library online by
mid March to early April maybe sooner.


An example TAG sitemap (still under discussion):
