  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
Quoting Larry Pieniazek <lpieniazek@mercator.com>: (...) I wasn't brainstorming. I was expressing my opinion. I was expressing it as strongly as I thought was appropriate given how strongly I felt about it. I am not only concerned with myself about (...)

  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) This could be extremely difficult for the college and high school students who are involved with LDraw. High schoolers don't pay utility bills at all (and some don't have IDs until they're 18), and a large number of college students live in (...)

  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) In a scenario where multiple mechanisms are on offer, you yourself might not ever need to use it, as you'd have several other paths available. But more importantly, until we've a consensus on what level of validation is appropriate, I'd rather (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) I'd lean towards is. I'm more inclined to trust people than not to trust people, then again, that might be my weakness. (...) Yeah, sorry. One person I know signed up twice cause he thought it had something to do with news posting. Not a (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Quoting Tim Courtney <tim@zacktron.com>: (...) This seems like it might be difficult. (...) This seems fair to me, but not seem that way to non-lugnet members. (...) I ABSOLUTELY OPPOSE this. I also oppose having to enter my credit card number in (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) this still allows stuffing by someone at level 1 - someone you met once, and therefor know exists. He can "know" many many people, and you have no way of verifying if they do exist. This might be an acceptable risk, I don't know. (...) (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) Ok. (...) I can accept this. There are several possible verification systems. I think we should use several, to make it easy for as many people as possible. Ultimately though, the onus should be on the applicant to prove his/her identity, (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) I think easily spoofed votes are unacceptable. Especially in the initial phase of the org, when we're electing the board. (...) I'd say first get the org running, and then worry about encouraging more participation. Dan (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: Elections and Membership in ldraw.org
 
(...) We've seen quite a few good (and some overboard) suggestions in this thread so far. Lar, you wrote in another message: (...) Yep. I think the right question to ask here is: Would you rather be absolutely sure everyone who votes is unique, (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: LSC Draft Proposal Version 0.7

  Re: Problem with account
 
(...) The parts tracker is still offline, as all the data before the crash hasn't been restore to it, and there are some more configuration changes to be made. We are working to get it back up. Dan (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Problem with account
 
Hi all, nice to see Ldraw online again. But I noticed that you need an account to use the tracker. This wouldn't be a problem if I could use my account. I tried to login with my username and password but nothing happens. I mailed Steve but getting (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Significance of stud orientation
 
(...) Perhaps when authors go back to BFC old parts, they should also correct the stud orientations. I've made a conscious effort to do new parts with correct stud orientations, but as you say later, it may not be worth the effort. (...) 3822s01 is (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Status for the LDraw.org server
 
(...) Now Munin is finally back on-line (since Thursday) and with a correctly configured Apache (since this morning). Right now some people will end up at Peeron and some people on Munin, when they go to the web site <www.ldraw.org>. This will (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Significance of stud orientation
 
(...) Sounds sensible. (...) I would certainly appreciate it. But I don't think parts will be rejected from inclusion in the official parts library just because the studs aren't oriented correctly. I have a vague recollection of having noticed that (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: new user installation summary
 
(...) LPub isn't finding POV-Ray. I'm working on the assumption that it's looking specifically for 3.1 and I have 3.5 installed. I'm going to install 3.1 in the coming days. LSynth isn't finding its own install directory. This may have something to (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: megapov install trouble
 
(...) Thanks, Ahui. I think installing 3.1 may solve my MEGAPov and LPub trouble. I'll give that a try. And if all else fails I'll start my entire system from scratch (it exists to do ldraw stuff, so that's not a problem), eliminating the (...) (21 years ago, 28-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad)
