The TAG

### 8.2.2 The TAG

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.

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.

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.

The TAG has its own website at »tag.povray.org.
