<h4><a name="s02_05_03_01">2.5.3.1 </a>Contacting the Authors</h4>
<p>
The POV-Team is a collection of volunteer programmers, designers, animators and artists meeting via the internet at
http://www.povray.org/. The POV-Team's goal is to create freely distributable, high quality rendering and animation
software written in C that can be easily ported to many different computers. If you have any questions about POV-Ray,
please visit our web site for the latest contact information, or see the <a href="http://www.povray.org/povlegal.html" target="new">online
version of POVLEGAL</a> for the current team coordinators address (this changes from time to time whenever too many
email spammers harvest the address).
</p>
<p>
If you have a question regarding commercial use or distribution of POV-Ray, please contact Chris Cason, the
development team coordinator, via the above method. Please do not email us directly for technical support; we no
longer give support via email as too many people abused the privilege.
</p>
<p>
See our <a href="http://www.povray.org/" target="new">web site</a> and particularly our <a href="http://www.povray.org/groups.html" target="new">news
server</a> for online peer support. The news server has a moderated bug reporting newsgroup; please however discuss
the issue in the <a href="news://news.povray.org/povray.general" target="new">povray.general</a> newsgroup prior to
lodging a bug report as we may already know of the issue (or it might not even be a bug). Also, there are several
FAQ's on the POV web site, and in general the folks in the newsgroups think rather poorly of users who post complaints
without reading the FAQ's first.
</p>
<p>
Finally, there is also a dedicated Technical Assistance Group consisting of a number of trusted, experienced
POV-Ray users.
</p>
<h4><a name="s02_05_03_02">2.5.3.2 </a>The TAG</h4>
<p>
Established by the POV-Team in late 1999, the TAG (Technical Assistance Group) is made up of selected members of
the POV-Ray user community. The purpose of the TAG is to aid the POV-Team in supporting users of POV-Ray around the
world, using the collective knowledge of the group to answer users' POV-Ray questions and to bring POV-Ray related
matters to the attention of the POV-Team as required.
</p>
<p>
With their range of experiences in particular areas of computing and graphics, TAG members will always try to
provide an answer to users' POV-Ray questions as best they can. If members of the TAG feel a question or suggestion
merits the attention of the POV-Team, they will redirect queries to the appropriate members of the Team for
consideration.
</p>
<p>
TAG members are not members of the POV-Team. But they are, however, an official conduit between us and the outside
world. They have direct access to all members of the POV-Team. They have the right to speak on our behalf on the
POV-Ray news server and on any official mailing lists that we set up for this purpose. Not everything they say will be
official; only when they sign it as such. They can still act as 'themselves' and have their own opinions at all other
times.
</p>
<p>
The TAG has its <a href="http://tag.povray.org/" target="new">own website</a>.
