I was approached yesterday via email by a couple of LDraw fans, and attached
was the document below, perfectly formatted in the LDraw.org page layout.
After a couple developer responses, I decided to post it here for discussion.
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/specs/lcd/
I know its not the first time this has come up, but I like how complete
their ideas are. This might be something....
I'll probably stay out of a technical discussion, because that's beyond my
primary skills. But, feel free to discuss! I hope something comes out of it!!

| First of all, I think think this thread should be in the top stories section! Secondly,I want it asap! I would pay money for an editor with this implementation in fact I think it would be advantages if the lego group itself implements this or (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| I think that the list of connectors/connections needs to be expanded from what is shown here.

| Wow, for a second there, I thought the authors had really made a 3-D rendering of God from The Brick Testament. @8^) (URL) was amazed that someone had taken the time to model God's hair, which I had hand-carved out of a white helmet because LEGO has (...)

| Dear all, after we changed the topic to 'LCD - LDraw Connection Database' I modified the logo. Let me say some words about it, what it symbolize. There is the letter "L".
