When did it stop being an "open" project? When did discussions concerning LDraw cease to be done in the open? I think I missed this. I realize that whoever work with the project may want some "anonymity" to avoid being "spammed" with beginner's questions and so on. It is probably hard to direct people to the newsgroups. Some people tend to want to email a single person with a question, rather than posting on a newsgroup. But is there really a need to hide all the work from the public anyway? I realize also that discussions on the newsgroup tend to get all noisy and go nowhere. This is probably frustrating to work with, and I can see the desire to go underground. It is probably a lot easier to get things done when working alone, not having to achieve consensus among a diverse group as the people (left) on lugnet.cad.*. Fredrik

HeeHeee! I have great faith in Tim that one day LDraw will become an open project, but I don't think it has ever been one in the past! :) As soon as the parts library is opened up, I promise I'll check it all into Sourceforge.org, so one can use (...)
