Ever seen Bugzilla for the Mozilla web browser?  Mozilla is open source and
many people look at and modify the code to add features or fix bugs, and
they're all incorporated in the next version.  Plus, nightly builds are that
update to any bugs fixed that day.

Check it out at http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/ .  Could this be applied to
POV-Ray?
