I thought it would be a nice idea to make a photo album of all the POV
newsgroup "regulars." (Being a newsgroup novice, I thought this was an
original idea, but my wife tells me it's not.) Anyway, I set up a photo
album page at http://home.earthlink.net/~grasshoppah/povers.html. It's a
pretty simple page, and it's open to everyone. There won't be any
restrictions on the photos, except the same standards that apply to the
newsgroup itself. ;)

If you find the photo album lacking in some respect, let me know, and we'll
negotiate on a fix. The maximum picture size is 280x240, which seems
appropriate to me, but I'm flexible.

If you think this is a good idea, please go ahead and participate! We'll
foster a warm, caring community, or something!

I had been thinking of something a little similar, but have not come around
to making it yet.

What I though of was a website where any pov'er could have his photo, a
short decribtion of himself (maybe like those descriptions at
tag.povray.org), and age, country/state/town, etc., (like in The List of
Ages).

With such a website it would indeed be easy to remember who is who in all
respects (name, personality, and appearance).

Another option would be to have some kind of linking system between the
different pages than contains information about POV-Ray people. For example
in the photo album next to the picture of Mr. X there could be links such as
"see description for Mr. X", "see age and town of Mr. X", "see location of
Mr. X on map of the earth". Each link would go to the same person on another
webpage. The disadvantage would be that it would be less quick and simple
for the user. The advantage would be that no webpages would become redudant.

I think we are already a warm, caring community, but everything can always
be made even better! :-)
I welcome your initiative, I just don't have a fitting picture of myself in
digital form, so I can't participate myself.

Not me, I stare at the % or Rendering line: or PPS counts and if they aren't changing
I
watch the blank space just below the last line in the render display in anticipation
of
the next update.  If that doesn't keep me spellbound enough I go online and surf the
'net.  When I do leave the computer for it to ray trace alone the best way to do so is
leap out of the chair and make it to the door and out of the room fast as I can or
I'll
think of something else and risk stopping the render.  Half joking... I'm not always
very fast.

Thanks, but you shouldn't have snipped the link as people will think

I would gladly consider adding more features to the Photo Album, if there's
enough interest. I can think of a couple things that could easily be
implemented without making things much more complicated:

1.) The <img alt="..."> text ("hover text"?) could be used to list people's
locations, or some other brief info. Currently I'm using the alt text to
list people's names, which is usually redundant except in the case where the
nickname is listed below the picture and the alt text has the real name (for
example, Warp/Juha Nieminen).

2.) The picture and/or name text could double as a link to that person's
website, where he can put all the info he wants.

Personally, since I've been putting this together, I've really enjoyed
finding out where y'all are from, and I think location information would be
a nice addition. In fact, I think I'll go ahead and add that. Yep, that's
what I'm gonna do.

Comments/suggestions/objections? Especially regarding brief biographical
info. - I think Rune has a good idea here...

BTW, Bob Hughes has a really cool mapping page at
http://users.aol.com/inversez/homepage.htm, and it already shows where all
the action is around the world, no need to duplicate Bob's work.

Dave

As I see this (Netscape 4.72 for Linux), the names are black on a dark

Never mind I figured out why I am seeing it differently that you are.
You have the page set up for a 1024x768 screen resolution. I usually
use 640x480 which really messes up the page layout when the resolution
is explicitly declared.

Not everybody has a website, and it would be nice to have descriptions of
several people at the same place I think.

But The List of Ages already has that information. No need to dublicate that
work.

I personally think a linking system between webpages would be better because
there's already other pages that contain information about the POV'ers.

That's my point exactly. I knew about that website, and there's other
websites which also contains information about POV-Ray users. No need to
dublicate other's work. But maybe we could make a linking system that in a
smart way linked between the different websites.

> Comments/suggestions/objections? Especially regarding
> brief biographical info. - I think Rune has a good idea

I personally would like to make a website myself with short descriptions
(brief biographical info) of the different POV-Ray users. As far as I know
such a website has not been made already. The users could make their own
descroptions, or others could make them for them, but of course the
descriptions would always have to be certified by the person in concern.

The advantage of not having this as a part of the photo album is, that
people can submit the brief biographical info even if they haven't submitted
a photo.

So I think a linking system would be better. What do you think?

Greetings,

Rune

An excellent idea. Do you know of a way that when someone selects a link on
the photo album page the correct bio would be displayed on your page? Do you
want to cross-link the pages so someone can follow a link on your page to a
picture on my page? Just let me know how you set it up and I'll make links
according to your specs... (Just keep in mind that I only know BASIC html,
so if you want anything really fancy, you'll have to send me the html
source!)

I don't recall how complete they are but I have a couple of copies
of the list in one of my netscape folders I could send you. I might
even have an .xls version around here somewhere but no gaurantees.
I think Alan may also have a copy of the .xls version but don't know

I hope the loss was not too big and that you will be able to recreate it. It
was a very nice and helpful list I think.

Too late! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...

It wasn't posted to off-topic anytime after 3/7 when I started keeping my
archive.

I didn't know about that one. It is very nice. However, I would like to make
a website where any POV-Ray user can submit a description, not just the ones
in the IRTC mailing list. Also, maybe the descriptions could be optionally
more detailed, and as I said, people could write small comments/decriptions
about each other. That might add more personallity to the descriptions.

Does this project have a future you think?

Rune

If I recall correctly this link:...

<a href="page2.html#personx">Click here to go to Person X on Page 2</a>

...will link to this section on page2.html:

<a name="personx">Person X</a>

...or something like that...

But maybe I will put each desription on a seperate page.

That was the idea. And if others want to, we can crosslink to other pages
too. (Maybe "The Population of POV-Ray Users", "The List of Ages", etc...)

I'm glad you're interested! I think setting up the site I'm talking about
will take some time (if I'll succeed at all), but if/when I succeed, I will
contact you!

The graphic on the shirt I'm wearing in my picture was created in the
GIMP (Larry Ewing's Tux image).  I don't feel too bad; I'm quite fond of
the GIMP.

  Not I - sorry. Don't have Excel. You and Bob are likely to have more
recent versions of the List than I am, although I may have one pasted
into a text file from an old news server message.
