Why not... though this one is rather simple if you don't want to model 
Arthur Dent's home :-)

Hi Stephen, you recently wrote in povray.general:

Thank you all for your kind words. As I wrote on our website, we are
very happy that development will (hopefully) pick up and continue.

While we haven't talked about the website with the POV-Team, I won't
be able to administer the current repository. Besides, I haven't
received a single submission in the last three years.... maybe moving
it to povray.org will reinvigorate it and I'm sure someone with good
web/database skills can create a good interface.

Yes, it is with a crying and a laughing eye (sorry, bad literal
translation of a german saying) that we did this. It is hard to let
our "baby" go, but we do hope that it'll grow up faster.....

hungry. Why not let Marc do the basic fishbowl scene and anyone who wants
to, can add a signature?

  Sounds like a good Idea to me, but maybe Povray.general is not the 
right group for it?

Greets,
Arne

p.S. Thanks, Lutz, for letting your baby go. I have a registered version 
of Moray since 1993 and even though i almost solely used it for hobby 
reasons I've never felt the money wasted.

I hope to see a bright future for moray and hope you are still in the 
boat with it.

Actually this is happening now - see the long threads on pov-ray includes.
The site will be flexible enough to accommodate moray models.
