Have we heard a POV on this from the Jessimans?

The general POV from the Jessimans is they are trusting us to do what is
right/best.  I take that to mean they are likely to agree to what we want
to do, but we will definitely want to ask for express agreement, once we
have a concrete proposal.

The fact that ldraw.org is sometimes hard to reach for some people mean we
should definitely allow mirrors (maybe the mirrors need to have permission?)

Sounds like we might get something going on Brickshelf. :)

Also, I think LCAD programmers should be allowed to modify the parts (like
Leonardo Zide does) to work with their own programs.

Agree.

Maybe we should
require or request that the programmers make conversion programs (which go
both ways) avaiable.

I don't think that's always going to be practical.

Links back to ldraw.org should definitely be required,
at least to show respect to JJ.

Respect is important, but requiring links also protects users from paying
for something they can get for no-charge.
