Recently, an effort has been begun to migrate POV-Ray scenes and objects from web pages hosted by the now defunct Geocities to the [http://lib.povray.org/searchcollection/index2.php POV-Ray Object Collection]. Discussion toward this end has occurred on the POV-Ray newsgroups, [http://news.povray.org/povray.general/thread/%3C4ab9f48c%40news.povray.org%3E/ here], [http://news.povray.org/povray.general/thread/%3C4abcaa2b%241%40news.povray.org%3E/ here] and [http://news.povray.org/povray.general/thread/%3C4ac4c5ba%40news.povray.org%3E/ here]. A log of sorts exists [http://povhouse.freewebsites.com/geocities/objects.html here].
