Greetings fellow RenderMan[tm] Users.

I would like to suggest something that may be useful to RenderMan[tm]
users/developers, which could be put on the CGCR RenderMan[tm] repository.

Along with RIB or Shaders, and some description about how to use them,
how about some of you out there writing one or more tutorials about how
to use the more exotic or initially difficult things to do.  Right now,
some one says "Help me do [this]", and someone responds, which does 
provide a specific answer to a specific problem.  Manybe something on
the order of a file or files of FAQ's (frequently asked questions).

I think many of the answers have been good, I am simply asking for more
general, broader and deeper in scope.

Cheers and thanks,
