There is a point actually. I could post a quick-n-dirty model that I did
in 5 minutes. Other people could use it as a base to make it more
complex, detailed, and flexible. If individuals post complete and
finished models only, it's not as much of a community effort...
(follow-up to p.o-c, if I got it right)

Good point, but only for a WIP collection.
I don't want this to become a collection of half-baked models; I want
them to be
a) High quality, ready to use in a final scene
b) Flexible, so they'll fit a variety of needs
Maybe, if you have a wip you don't want to continue, post it in p.b.i
separately, and see if anyone wants to continue it?

They can keep baking for a while. Once they are more complete and not
"half-baked", *then* they can go to the collection.

Having organized several things like this in my career, I'll suggest
that it would be useful to allow "half-baked models", along with a
rating system as to quality, complexity, customizability, etc. Usually
just a 1-5 quality rating will do. This lets people looking for *any*
model of a giraffe (say) find something to at least start with...

I think there are two different levels of collaboration that we're talking
about here.
If you want to collaborate on the creation of a single object then you can
do that along with others through the news groups and/or through a web page
if you want to set that up to manage the task.
On the other hand. To assemble a bundle of objects it's probably excessive
to expect the person bundling the objects together to also manage incomplete
objects. It's going to be touch enough taking objects from different people
and giving them a basic degree of consistency.
These two levels of collaboration can work just fine together or separately.
If you want to manage collaboration on an individual object you can then
submit tested and documented versions either to Ben's bundle (if it seems
consistent with the theme), or directly to the object collection.
Regards,
Chris B.

Yes, but that's why we have the object collection. I'm trying to put
together a single package within that collection.
If you have a 'half baked model', by all means upload it to
lib.povray.org on its own, and I'll be more than happy to look at it.

Hi Darren,
I think this is something slightly different.
The http://lib.povray.org web site does support non-standard submissions.
You can rate your contribution (1-3) and indicate that it's doesn't comply
with the standards. By default the search won't display such objects, but
there is an option on the search screen to display non-compliant objects
(just below the keywords box).
Once an item has been submitted, anyone (anyone who's bothered to register)
can provide feedback on quality, complexity, compliance etc. with both free
text fields and numeric ratings.
Ben is attempting to put together a cluster of high quality objects for
submission to the collection. Anyone who wants to promote the development of
the collection in other ways is also welcome to do so and, IMO will also be
doing the community a service.
Regards,
Chris B.
