I think this looks pretty good.
It felt a bit wrong to leave out LDraw from the names, but
since it isn't the only program handling DAT files this
makes sense.

Assuming discussions and data are kept together. Would it be
easy to modify the web interfaces so references are marked
with both a "read link" and a "draw link" when appropriate?
Would it be possible to view the groups in a way that only
shows DAT files?

Probably.

Depends on your answer to the questions above. I suspect
discussions should be allowed in the parts groups.

It would be nice if the URL's included LDraw, but your
suggestion is definitely both tolerable and understandable.
Play well,
