For instance: A year ago, I wish Brad had flat out said:

"We're building a tool to accept uploading of the thousands of
models you've all built in the .dat file format. You will buy
loads of bricks from our new LD sales site and all your hot
models will make us look super to the surfing public and our
bosses. We'll even reveal our new hybrid file format so you folks
will build modeling apps. (We know you'd prefer to run community
made software.)" Blah, blah, blah..


So is that what the "CAD summit" is all about?  I too wish they would
just come out and say it.  Everyone on the lugnet.cad groups seem to
have been censored by NDAs.  I was planning to add a large format tiled
rendering option to ldglite this weekend, but with all the mystery I
just couldn't find the motivation.  Who wants to sweat over something
that's about to be obsoleted?

Given the history of these NDAs, I suspect it'll be months before any
of the details are revealed.  I just hope I don't lose all motivation
by then.

Don -
Take heart.  I can understand that the mystery has got to be causing
anxiety, but we also feel anxiety after knowing this info and not being able
to tell it.  But we see the greater picture of why.

Anyways, keep making improvements to your projects, I don't believe anything
will be obsoleted.  We still need to advance DAT utilities, and discussed a
LOT of that at the LDraw.org meeting last night and at dinner.

(...) That reminds me -- I've *got* to get back on track with the Parts Tracker v3. I'm about half-way through a VB prototype. So far, you can log in, reserve a part, check the current listings, and submit a file. I'll make it publically available, (...) (24 years ago, 15-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad)
