The news Matt refers to is that I posted a message to the Apple Student

Developer mail list (see http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/studentdev)

mentioning LDraw.  I have received several replies from students interested.  I

also have received some replies from Apple developers...

When I went to Apple's World Wide Developer Conference last year, I got the

chance to visit Apple's Cupertino campus.  In the inner courtyard, through an

window, I saw an office full of Lego models and the note "I can quit playing

with Lego's whenever I want to."  So I know that there would be a few people

interested in LDraw.  It wasn't til just a week ago that I had the bright idea

to get developer's involved through the channels I get other developer

information.  At least now is better than never.

I am submitting requests to other groups too.  I have emailed the Omni Group

(http://www.omnigroup.com/).  If they get involved, you will probably see so

many LDraw tools on the Mac that everyone's head's will spin.

I just don't think anyone in the Mac developer community knows about LDraw or

has thought of doing anything like it.

Anyway, I am putting stuff together and trying to spin some heads.
