In response to some questions from Jeff Lee I replied with some of
the following. At the time is was a little indefinite but with my
persuasive personality I pushed them past the other TAG members
and the POV-Team in short order:

I will pass this idea on to the TAG. Media is a tricky one because it
is difficult to apply to different objects and in different lighting
conditions. What it was designed for may not work when you apply it
to your own object or scene. The catch 22 here is that media in
containers require objects and we don't want this particular library
to become an object library.
For those who might be interested we have begun talking amongst
ourselves about adding other resources like this one to povray.org.
We have not yet decided what we will offer or even obtained permission
from the POV-Team to offer any more than the texture library but we
will be working on it after the new texture library goes on line.
Some ideas I personaly have had are:
Texture Library
Object Library
Macro Library
Isosurface Library
Turorial Library
Document Library
We might offer these resources from a web page that we will call the
TAG home page. Then the seperate libraries will be accessed from there.
Again we have nothing concrete on this yet and even if we do add these
it will be in stages as we get time and permission to work on them.
