There was quite a bit of discussion in the pre-beta round about forming
a group to address this issue after the final release. What was proposed
was a collection of scenes and utilities that would enhance the scene
files collection and updates to the documentation without increasing
the burden on the download of the main distirbution of the package.
There is a very good possibility that this will still happen and when
ready will be hosted at povray.org or on the TAG homepage. Kind of a
post release resource center with offical sponsorship.
