There are already a lot of excellent tutorials out there.
Personally, the official documentation provides plenty of
useful information. More illustrations and color images
would probably help. The TAG questions and tips pages
are also great.

What I'd like is a quick and in-depth reference for textures,
effects, methods, etc. A tool that would reduce the number
of test renders POV-Ray users have to do to get what they're
trying for. A simple picture with the POV-Ray code right
next to it, well-commented so it can be understood and
easily modified. All under a common format so it would be
fast and easy to navigate. And up-to-date with the latest
techniques and tricks.

As for Wiki, someone has to replace that horible green
plastic Utah teapot; no one is going to try POV-Ray with that
as the first example image :-).
