Who are you addressing? The problem is that mere users can't do *anything*
about it as far as I can see. There's no way to submit a new link or a
suggestion for a new link, nor to change existing ones. For example, there's
a link that points to a page of mine that went obsolete in 2002 when my
website moved to a new address. I have several times since pleaded in this
newsgroup that the link be updated, but have gotten no response whatsoever
and so the link has pointed to the wrong address for years.

Well, it seems that deep buried on the TAG Mebers List page there's a
contact address regarding the links:
http://tag.povray.org/members.html#Tyler
It says:
If you would like to submit a link to a POV-Ray or 3D related resource you
may contact me at this e-mail address - lin### [at] povray org
So you might try that.

I believe that the post for linkmaster is currently open. Would you
be willing to take the job?
(Don't get me wrong: I'm not promising you the task if you want it
because I can't speak on behalf of the team in this case; I'm just
asking if you would be willing to take the task if the team offered
it to you. If so, I could consult with the team about the current
state of this issue.)

This might be a task for the wiki...

There are two important requirements for someone to maintain the link
collection: the willingness and ability to do this for a longer time
(updating things only once does not really help) and some experience
with POV-Ray to select links and write useful link descriptions.
I think it might be a good option to maintain the link collection in a
wiki - of course this also would only work if there are enough people
actively working on it.

No. I appreciate your trust in me, but the job as linkmaster is not
something I desire or a responsibility I would take upon myself.
I personally think that Christoph's and Slime's idea of using the wiki for
maintaining links sound very promising and advantageous.

I was kind of hoping that the webmaster would read this. I know that there
is software out there for removing dead links.

Isn't Povray.org a dynamic / CMS site?
Thought it was...
