Well that is excellent. I created a #pov-ray forum channel at
https://discord.gg/r7kHDx9Pmn . I think a Workflowy might be a more modern way
of doing something like Fossil, with all the modern features we'd need.
Basically it's an infinite outliner with image and tagging and focus mode
features.

If we went any further I'd suggest a Trello. I've set up everything from
SaleForce to Adobe WorkFront for clients. So I'd be happy to help with that
part. I real just want to help empower people to find answers even easier,
including for myself. How I have wished to meet a friend into POV-Ray.
