  Re: The Bricktionary project (Was: Idea: How starting ... Lego piece naming convention?)
 
(...) Oops -- I think there has been a major misunderstanding; that's not what I meant at all. When I wrote: TSL> As they say in Canada, Minnesota, and Maine, "O-ya, it's been parta da TSL> plan since day one." :-) Lots of little prototypes and (...)

  Newsgroup for this (was Re: The Bricktionary project)
 
This seems like it is reaching critical mass (a good thing) and perhaps at this point a dedicated newsgroup should be created for this (i.e., efforts to standardize parts nomenclature). How does lugnet.db.brictionary sound? I wouldn't quite put it (...)

(...) Sounds good. Right place in the hierarchy. (...) And it's not actually part names, but a parts identification database, right? Having standard/prefered names is good, but it's the pictures (and maybe schematics) that actually identify the (...)

  Re: The Bricktionary project (Was: Idea: How starting ... Lego piece naming convention?)
 
(...) Great. I'd love to contribute to the Lugnet Bricktionary in any way possible. Of course, I'd love to contribute to just about any effort to establish a public db for part identification and reference.

  Re: Newsgroup for this (was Re: The Bricktionary project)
 
(...) Steve, I totally agree what is needed is a complete classification/taxonomy system so you can find a part. The naming component is useful and interesting but this project should be a parts database not just a name database. If the (...)

  Re: Newsgroup for this (was Re: The Bricktionary project)
 
(...) Right. Identification and reference and browsing and all that. Massively cross-referenced within itself and to/from set inventories, MOC's, and the marketplace. So it's really a sub-database of the larger database. The "Brictionary" part is (...)

  Re: The Lepanadat project (Was: Idea: How starting ... Lego piece naming convention?)
 
(...) Yes, there was a misunderstanding. I thought that you mentioned the name for this project, which you appearently did not. My goal has been changed slightly, from a name database to a searchable database with the different names that are used (...)

(...) I actually had something to say in reply to Jim's message, but I posted it incorrectly once (defaulted the Newsgroup field), so I canceled and reposted, but didn't paste in the earlier text. Oh, well. Steve (25 years ago, 9-Jul-99, to lugnet.db.brictionary)
