Lots of good comments, this is very exciting stuff, ne? (...) Those aren't the only two alternatives. It could well be closed (changes controlled by LEGO only, rather than by a standards committee) but still well documented rather than (...)

(...) I also hope you're proven wrong, but the presence of an NDA would seem to indicate otherwise.

I have been watching this thread with interest. Personally I find the prospect that LEGO is going to potentially open up some of their intellectual property to the community pretty interesting and not something you see happen very often. How they do (...) (22 years ago, 30-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad)
