Except for time/skill/interest. (mostly time)

If I recall, it was Kevin's lack of time that prompted him to open up
the lsynth code and solicit your help.  (I think he may have mentioned
you specifically ;)

Also, I imagine you could argue that contributing to lsynth satisfies
requirement 3 of the "Requirements for Membership" section of the
recently posted "LDraw.org Standards Committee (LSC) Draft Proposal":

  Authored a software program that is compliant with either the
  LDraw 0.2.7 spec or another spec published by the LSC

After which I'm sure you'd be a shoe-in for the upcoming elections...

couldn't attempt to add the string part to the code himself
and then submit the patches to you for official approval.  Right?  Isn't
that the whole point of opening up the source code?

I'm thinking that just allowing for a level of indirection might do the
trick. If you added a way to just specify what part you wanted used for the
stringing together, and allowed it to be used instead of one of the defined
types, that might do the trick. Haven't actually looked at the code to see
if that makes sense or not.

Why not take a peek then?

Enjoy,
