Over the past couple of years releases of new official parts have been
less frequent than in the past. LDraw.org would like to apologise or these
delays and explain the reason why.
About two years ago LDraw.org decided to move to a new license scheme
(the Contributors Agreement) for the parts library. This new system has
numerous advantages, perhaps most importantly the fact that most parts
will now be distributable without having to include Complete.exe
and ldraw027.exe (a problem for many new users) and can be included
with other software without a separate parts installation.
It has been a huge undertaking tracking down old part authors and asking
them to agree to these new terms and a lot of people have put a huge
amount of work into making this happen. The process is slowly reaching a
conclusion now with the number of authors[1] (and parts by those authors)
nearing zero. Once these authors have been tracked down (or their parts
replaced by new versions) the entire library will be under the new
agreement which allows for consistency in future releases and allows
their release rate to be increased again.
As a further side effect of this process we need to update the header
information of parts which means the LDraw Standards Committee has
to validate a suitable format proposed by the library admins
for this new information. As anyone who has worked on standards will
know this is a difficult task although one that should be nearing
completion.
We thank you for not complaining about this and hope that in the mean
time you will download parts from the Parts Tracker to fill any gaps
you may have.
Tim Gould
on behalf of the LDraw Steering Committee
[1] If anyone can help find any of the following people this job will
be much easier to complete and we will be able to have a new parts
release sooner. Those marked by a star are most important to track
down as they have authored ten or more parts.

man, I've tried:
<fredrigl@math.uio(spamless).no>
<glockner@bio.*spamless*uio.no>
and even tried:
fredrik.glockner+nospamplease+@student.jus.uio.no
provided by the "Faculty of mathematics and natural sciences University of Oslo"
(uio is the university's akronym) after I asked for help. beside leaving a msg
in his web-blog http://fredrigl.multiply.com/ (found by peter bartfai). at this
point I suggest:
* block his lugnet account in order to force him to contact the lugnet admins
next time he wants to post
* spam him from multiple accounts, with the message that he should contact the
ldraw admins
* simply strip his parts.

Yes, I realize that. It seems he's not at university any more. I tried
www.eniro.no but there were no matches for Fredrik Glöckner.
Maybe your best bet is to reply to all his lugnet posts from this year, just
to try to connect. At least it seems he reads some parts of lugnet,
sometimes.

I may have missed this, but has LDraw.org released a list of the parts that need
to be replaced? I would think that making such a list available and encouraging
part authors to focus their efforts on those parts first would speed things up
and reduce the number of parts that will need to be removed for a CA-compliant
library to be released.

Here is the list of files in the official library, whose original author has not
affirmed the CA. I have not reviewed all of these for comments that indicate
they might already have had a complete re-write. Some files are already on the
Parts Tracker with revisions, so please check there before starting work.
If anyone would like to re-write these from scratch - without copying the
original author's work, then please do so and send to the LDraw admins
(parts@ldraw.org) for submission to the Parts Tracker.
As we go through the library to reformat the headers, we may find other files
with significant changes made by non-CA authors. We'll deal with those on a case
by case basis.
Many thanks, Chris

It may just be easier to re-submit the parts with a comment. I'm sure they will
be certified quickly.

With over 50% of the parts by non-CA authors now re-written (see
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/org/ldraw/?n=3768), the list of non-CA authors
(with parts still in the library/tracker) is as follows
Name (number of parts authored)
Chris Alano (5)
Eric D'Aragon (1)
Fredrik Glöckner (1)
Howard Lande (2)
James Jackson (2)
Kevin Bane (8)
Luis E. Fernandez (16)
Tim Romine (2)
William Wood (7)

With 1/3 of the non-ca parts in the library/tracker left to be re-written, the
list of non-ca authors is as follows
