Cool!
And ultimately, for the LUGNET Brictionary, the HTML pages will also be
dynamically created and cross-referenced into other DBs in the system,
including personal want lists and auctions, so the HTML pages will also be
more likely to be linked to than the raw images, because the HTML pages
will contain more useful information.


Is there any desire to have povray rendered images for each part?
I still think that would be cool, even though the ldraw versions are more
useful for some things.  It would also be nice to be able to either:

1. have all parts rendered in all colors (disk space hog?)
2. have parts rendered on the fly in the desired color (cpu hog!)

This is especially important with decorated parts.

It would also be nice to have 3 sizes of each part:

1. thumbnail (128x128)
2. normal size (whatever variable size the parts are now)
3. large (3x normal size)
