Give me unofficial parts, I don't care.

I don't think that unofficial parts should be published from LDraw.


Agree - unofficial means they may change - and if the change is to the origin
or orientation then users will get (even more) upset.


How about simply encouraging the parts authors to post their parts to
lugnet.cad.dat.parts?  That way, people can see which parts are in the
pipeline.

I always do,
(http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/?q=%2Bnew+%2Bpart+%2Bdee&qn=20) except
maybe bug-fixes, BUT

Besides, people can comment on the quality of the parts, the names, the
numbers and the position.

... I rarely get any comment, good or bad.

And should anybody want to use some of the unofficial parts, they can do so at
their own risk. It's a win win situation.


Ok, so I have made this point a few times already in the past and
virtually noone has responded.
