I think more people would try it if we had a fourm here.  There's plenty of information about it on the pov-ray newsgroups, but I think having a place for questions and comments in a familiar environment would be a big help for those interested in it.

That's pretty much how I got started using Wings3D.  There are lots of tutorials for it out there, but it wasn't until I started reading some posts here that I could get used to the idea of manipulating faces & vertexes instead of typing out code.
