If you would like to help support the POV-Team then consider buying
one of more of the IRTC competition CDs. The proceeds from the sales
of the CDs help support the POV-Team and the maintenance and upkeep
of povray.org, irtc.org, and this news server.
To find out more about the CDs visit - http://www.aussie.org/products/
The POV-Team does not accept cash donations from the users of the program.

I must have missed it. I see that it says that the Team doesn't want people
to pay for a software that should be free, but it doesn't say anything about
voluntary donations as far as I can see. Either way, I think he'd get more
bang for his buck by buying the IRTC CD-ROMs. :)

Alright, I will get the CDRoms, but why does the Pov-Team don't accept
donations?

I do not know all the reasons but I do know this is their official policy
and one they ask us to respect.

Me? I am just another user of the program like you. I do appreciate
the offer but I think your money would be better spent elsewhere.
The purchase of the IRTC CDRoms really do help the POV-Team and would
be your best course of action - in my opinion.
If you insist you must make a donation to someone may I suggest a
donation to the American Red Cross who will use the money to aid
the people affected by the recent terrorist attacks in America?

Not speaking officially, but I suspect it's because once money starts
changing hands you start having to keep track of it and file for nonprofit
status and all sorts of other ugly tax-related things that are further
complicated by the fact that we're spread all over the planet.

what if the CD's had a minimum suggested price (the current price), however
no upper limit - that way people could buy a CD for what ever they felt like
giving :)

Should be about time for the 4th CD-ROM, as I patiently await it. Guessing
that occurs after the end of this year. Looked at IRTC site and didn't find
info about release times.

Chris mentioned that it will be delayed this year due to the release of v3.5.

Or yet, if what someone is willing to donate amounts to, say, five or six
CDs, they could buy them and give them away. That would have the added
benefit of spreading POV-Ray and IRTC to people that have not yet had the
chance of enjoyng raytracing and would like to do so, given the opportunity.
Well, of course, if the amount to be donated could be translated to 100 or
more IRTC CDs, it could be a problem for one single person finding that many
interested people...

Local libraries or schools are usually willing to accept donations of CD's :)

All funds goes to running the servers?
I thought that's how it worked with the CD's at least.

I think it was a good idea to wait... now the IRTC CD will have the
3.5 version bundled, isn't? Much better... :)

The one thing that everyone around here is short of is "TIME",
you can donate some of that by taking part in the IRTC, and taking
part in the 10best project. To read more about both:
IRTC: http://www.irtc.org
10best: http://10best.raytrace.com/10bestupload.html
Both will require you to do some rendering, and both will be selling
a CD who's proceeds go to support the servers as mentioned by Uncle
Ken.
Buying the CDs when they come out will help too.

Alternatively (possibly), you could always donate a prize to the IRTC. Not
strictly a POV donation, but what the hell...
