(...) I have always liked CMDLINE followed by a default colour, and I have the feeling that I am one of those who have used it most times. I also think it really is a pity that it hasn't been used by any [online] catalog or other partlisters (that I (...) (21 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I understand the feeling. For me, when I open up my work (I don't code, but I do write, papers, a book, proposals, etc) to others, I expect and welcome criticism, so long as it is framed constructively. If I were to venture a guess, you aren't (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That is closest. (...) I am not familiar to the exact meaning of open source, but I guess it can be a little like when you submit the dat code for a part to the PT. Suddenly you find that it has been changed or even renamed. In almost all (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Absolutly not. You asked without demanding. That goes a long way with me. Like I said, the vast majority of the open source proponents are helpful and courteous. It's a small portion of the community that ruins it for some. -Orion (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I don't think anyone said you have to insist anything. I just think that Open Source would fit in well with the philosophy of Ldraw.org, and would provide an avenue for code to be improved without depending on one person to do it all. After (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) 1st off thanks for looking. Second can you post some links to 3DS stuff? I know nothing about it at the moment. I’m guessing its short for something else. That request will get tacked on the end of the exports todo list. It will take a good (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Well, it depends on how you structure it. Some open source projects have a single developer managing it and occasional patches being sent in, while others are more of a group effort. I think that "That's mine that is" still applies in the (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad)
