My suggestion: worry about content and delivery before worrying about
spice.

Correct.  I was just inquiring about it - not stating that I was going to
make that a priority.

LDraw.org should be approachable: easy to access, easy to understand, work
on the maximum number of browsers.  Using Shockwave to deliver content
might improve some tutorials, but it also makes it more complicated to
access the content on the site.

You are also correct here.  I don't fully realize how it complicates it,
and maybe that is in part the reason for my enthusiasm about it.  I will
work toward a universal version first.

LDraw.org should also be low-maintenance.  This is a volunteer effort, and
there's plenty of tasks to go around.  Using Shockwave would make any
shocked portions of the site high-maintenance.

I also didn't realize this.  I do realize that numerous people will be
responsible for doing acutal updates to the site, and I guess that could be
an obstacle that most would be unwilling or unable to face.

Shockwave may make it possible to add spice, but there are plenty of very
attractive sites around which are plain HTML.  And some ugly Shockwave
sites, as well.

Hehe :)  Yes, I have seen a fair share of both.  I have the layout
basically conceptualized in paper and in my head, and tomorrow hopefully I
will assemble the images and create the full layout in Photoshop.

Keep Building!!

Ben Vaughan & all: I am interested in making a Shockwave Flash version of ldraw.org to give it a little spice. Ben, you use shockwave on your marsbase site, and I am confused on how to create things in shockwave. I have visited Macromedia's website (...) (26 years ago, 10-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
