studies. We have already several half-agreed standards, like Ldraw lib and
Auczilla names, but isn't there a real and (starting to be) urgent need for
a universal naming convention?

What 's your opinions?

I think this is a good idea. If such database is hosted on Lugnet, or a clear
link to another place everybody can use the same names when they want to
auction/buy/sell/trade pieces. If there are pictures shown of the pieces it
would even be better.
I know there is a database of the pieces in LDraw together with pictures, maybe
this could be used for this purpose also.

Personal opinions: start with comparing the nomenclature that is used in LDraw,
Auczilla and the set inventories here on LUGNET. When pieces are named
identical in all three systems this should be adapted, otherwise there should
be a voting.
