The POV-Ray Book Project Administration Team

Micha Riser

Micha is the Server Administrator for the book project. He hosts the POV-Ray Book Project site on his server, and manages all the backend scripts and functionality. He took over the web maintenance from Angela. He is currently studying informatic sciences at the ETH in Zurich, Switzerland. His homepage is (if you couldn't guess) http://povworld.de, which is also home to the POV-Ray Objects Collection.
Josh English

Josh is the new Project Coordinator of the group. He is also the team's Content Specialist, selects and organizes the tutorials on the POV-Ray Book Project site. He also uses his in-depth knowledge of POV-Ray to check the content of the tutorials for accuracy and completeness. Josh gained his experience in creating and managing tutorials from his POV-Ray Cyclopedia of Solutions, part of his homepage located at http://www.spiritone.com/~english.
Scott McClare

Scott functions as the Print Specialist on the team, using his experience as a writer and editor to prepare the tutorials for publishing in a printed book. In 1997, he graduated from the University of Waterloo with a B.A. in English, and went on to become a technical writer in Ottawa, Canada. For more about Scott, visit his Web site at http://www.ncf.ca/~cj871/home.html.
Angela Perry

Angela was the former Project Coordinator and Web site administrator of the group. Due to her new work schedule and continuing lack of Internet access she resigned. All the same she will continue to help whenever she can. Angela graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor's in multimedia communication, and happily discovered POV-Ray last year. Desperate to pick others' brains, she organized this project. She is in the process of creating a personal Web site.
