And if it sounded like I thought you were complaining, that wasn't intended
either.

I see, that more and more people are tinkering with POV-Ray source code
and perhaps is is time (after v. 3.5 release ) to use more opened
development model (e.g. CVS-based) for developing POV-Ray? Current model
worked perhaps well in days of CompuServe, where there was limited
number of persons involved, but as Internet gets more and more
widespread, the number of users and patchers, who are interested in
development, will grow. In french ng. server there was similar
discussion about more opened development model, so the idea gets round
and around.

This has already been talked about, and an official announcement made. 
From the message posted by Chris Cason titled "POV-Team Status Report - 
September 1, 2000", in povray.announce.frequently-asked-questions:

"...we are also hoping to use a much more open development model for 
POV 4, with public read access to our source-revision tree.  System 
analysis, design, and implementation of POV 4 will be a very large 
task, and this is one way we hope to speed it up.  This open 
development model would also hopefully provide development releases 
(snapshots) more quickly to the power-user community, similar to what 
MegaPov offers now."

Right You are! I read this announcement of course, but this was almost
half a year ago and I managed to forget it (and I'm getting old and my
memory doesn't server me any more so well as it used to.) 
So lets see, what future brings...

Pardon me, you have about the age of my children, and _their_ memories 
seem to be in optimal condition. Now if you had _my_ age...

hey!, my memory is terrible! - I am 24, and cannot remember what I had for
breakfast :), I should have shares in post-it's the amount I have with
various things scribbled on all over the place..
