Hi folks, the LDraw.org Administration Team would like to introduce a new contest. It will be called: POTM – Part Of The Month It is no news that programs get most of the spotlight and little goes to "the unsung heroes of the LDraw CAD world" - this (...)

(...) I think it's a great idea to put the part authors in the spot light. But isn't one view a bit limited? Especially for the more complex / non symmetrical parts. Just my 2 cents :) Roland (17 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) please consider that the part is available for download at the PT and you can have a closer look than an entire gallery of pics would allow. I could include the link to the part in the contest though (but I have to check back with orion (...) (17 years ago, 14-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I set up a test contest which does exactly this. ultimately the file would be stored at ldraw.org. click on it and instead of saving on your disk open it with LDView. (URL) (17 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Well, that shows off a possible flaw in my suggestion. LDView doesn't automatically download unofficial versions of official parts. The part in your example has an official version, and that gets shown instead of the one on the tracker. (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

This is a really great idea... But I find it a little difficult to see how you can participate unless you're one of the small handfull of reviewers with a constant level of high activity: If you aren't paying really close attention to the PT on a (...)

(...) Hi Niels, I could be misreading you but just in case it reads as though you are assuming that the reviewers submit the part for voting. That is not the case, the author must submit their own part which means that if you've submitted something (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

I have an idea about the ldraw contests. Why not send an email when a new entry is added to the webpage? Without some sort of reminder, I most likely wont even think to go vote. James (17 years ago, 30-Jan-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
