	This link for the Internet Ray Tracing Competition is broken. The main page there says something broke and won't likely be fixed anytime soon, but it does give a link to the older (2006 and before) content. Can someone update the link on the main page to point to http://www.irtc.org ? --[[User:Undrhil\|Undrhil]] 19:09, 9 April 2012 (UTC)		This link for the Internet Ray Tracing Competition is broken.

	* I find the current category breakdown adequate. Chris Cason ask me to post the [http://www.povray.org/resources/links/ links collection] from the main POV-Ray, so that we could easily edit, verify, and add to this collection. So the links collection on this Wiki is actually the source for that content. I noted that [[KB:Contents\|here]]. You may also notice the link I placed on the KB contents page to the Feature Requests page, I was hoping for something entirely different, but alas you chose to go in your own direction. As it stands that links collection on the main site doesn't support images, with no plans to do so (AFAIK), and will sort the links within each category by popularity. There is currently an effort underway to weed out dead links, and remove duplicates, so technically the two links that you recently added are duplicates, and one of the should be removed, however in the spirit of cooperation I going to let that slide. When we are finished with that effort, some scripting needs to be done to repopulate the links collection over on the main site with the contents of this Wiki. If you'd like to take a page and verify, that would be a more useful contribution. I've asked the people doing this to mark the talk page (associated with the page that they have checked) with a short message and signature/time stamp, so we can keep track of what's been done. Finally I'm asking politely, and would respectfully ask one more time (this is the third time now) that you try to use the preview button to verify your posts before committing them with the save. --[[User:Jholsenback\|jholsenback]] 11:55, 30 June 2010 (UTC)		* I find the current category breakdown adequate.

	Would it be worth the effort to sort the links collection by theme, kind of like the [http://objects.povworld.org/ old] and [http://lib.povray.org/searchcollection/index2.php new] POV-Ray Object Collections, and maybe upload some thumbnails of individual items?
