The problem with this approach is that my list of known bugs is not complete.
It doesn't contain things that have been fixed but haven't made their way
into a beta yet.  It always will be incomplete in this way, so it's not
useful to anyone but me.

Ideally, we would put all of the bugs into our bug tracking system and this
wouldn't be a difficult task, but of late it's been easier to just fix them
as we duplicate and identify them.  (For example, 3 of the bugs I fixed last
night were easier to fix than they would have been to put in the tracking
system.)

I think Thorsten's right: the list of known bugs is everything in this group
that hasn't been addressed in the list of changes for a beta.

That's why I thought a list of known bugs would have been useful for the
POV-Team too...

As pre-beta tester I made some bug reports in that special group and those
bug reports do not appear on your list. Should I repost those bug reports in
this group?

No, I have a list for that group too.

What about the bug I found in SOR, which is demonstrated with the following
code?

camera { location <10, 15, 15> look_at <0, 1, 0> angle 15 }
light_source { <2, 15, 5> color rgb <1, 1, 1> }
plane { +y, 0 pigment { rgb <1, 1, 1> } }
sor { 4, <2, -1> <2, 0> <2, 2> <2, 3> pigment { checker } }

It is still present in beta 4, and the only reply I ever got was, "Weird
effect. :) Definitely a bug." See
  http://news.povray.org/povray.general/17877/
and
  http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/18004/

Well, that's the hazard of my posting my list.  The stuff I've kept 
around is only a fraction of the reported bugs.  I think I marked that
particular one as read because someone said something to the effect of
having figured out why it was doing that (not necessarily anywhere
public, mind you) so I forgot about it.  I'll go back and put it on my
list of active bugs.

This article no longer exists.  Apparently, it contained images, which
are frowned upon in groups like povray.general.  Could you repost your
images in povray.beta-test.binaries ?

If you are happy to volunteer to keep it (so we don't have to devote any time
to it) then I'd be happy to see it happen. Note that only verifiable bugs should
be entered into it, and a link to the original report (http:// format) should be
recorded with it.

thanks,

Ok. I think I'll have time in a few days to begin to start working on it.

Ron, could you send me your lists for the other groups too?

Doesn't work for bugs reported in the pre-beta groups.
