Here is, all things considered, maybe what'll work best:

  lugnet.cad                  CAD
  lugnet.cad.dat.ideas        CAD / DAT Files / Ideas
  lugnet.cad.dat.models       CAD / DAT Files / Models
  lugnet.cad.dat.parts        CAD / DAT Files / Parts
  lugnet.cad.dat.parts.prim   CAD / DAT Files / Parts / Primitives
  lugnet.cad.dat.scenes       CAD / DAT Files / Scenes
  lugnet.cad.dev              CAD / Development
  lugnet.cad.dev.org          CAD / Development / ldraw.org
  n/a                         CAD / LDraw
  n/a                         CAD / LDraw / Parts
  n/a                         CAD / LDraw / Tools
  n/a                         CAD / Ray-Tracing

The last four are newsgroupless categories purely for organizing links on
the website.  I'm sure at some point there would also be virtual categories
for other software packages as they gain popularity and users and have more
things to link to like galleries and stuff like that.

Anyway, in this final scenario, .cad.dev.org is the new group, tucked away
under the protection of .cad.dev.  And this also makes semantic sense as the
new group is a spinoff of .cad.dev and will have many of the same
participants, although a smaller set.  In this scenario, .cad.dev would
continue to be for development of CAD stuff (primarily LDraw) and
.cad.dev.org would be for development of ldraw.org specific stuff (primarily
the website).

Whew.  OK.  Well, I don't love this last scenario to death or anything but
it seems practical.  Comments/opinions/criticisms?

I like this idea for the heirarchy.  However, my choice for group name is

*.org.ldraw

Whether just cad. or cad.dev. goes before it.  But it is good tucked away
under .dev.

And as Terry said, you *are* so thorough its scary... :D

Keep Building!!

(...) Arg. Good point. (...) Why the .org. then? Why not lugnet.trains.pnltc and lugnet.trains.gmltc ? The name is shorter and easier to remember. They are separated from the lugnet.trains group, yet they're still associated with it. (...) Yes, see (...) (25 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
