OK, ladies, gentlemen and minifigs, so everybody is agreeing it is a
good idea, what is more, it is already a group of good ideas, including
LCD itself (by the way, LCD could stand for Lugnet.Cad.Dev, too! :)
and the LMPL language, and so on. Now the question is: what to do now?
As for the development, I will undertake it; I will create the
scripting language being mentioned -- you will be able to read it as a
proposal. I will develop everything necessary, and what I can't develop,
will be developed by KACS, for example, the databases for sure, he is
the database expert, not me. But the main part of it is the actual work
of collecting data. Connections, connectors, parts, connections,
connectors, parts. Not owning any real Lego and not having much
experience with the virtual one, I'm not the very man to do this work.
Let me call you to contribute. Let's collect connections. The way to
do so is simple. Take two Lego parts connectable with each other, and
connect them. Take notes about the connection: the coordinates of an
important point, specified according the coordinate system used in dat
files; the way of movement possible in connected state, including angles
and distances; and additional comments, problems, questions to be solved
etc. And give it a name like Stud Inlet or Towball. KACS took the job of
collecting them and keeping them in a database. And the group can decide
what to do with the arising problems.
Thank you in advance and have a good work!

| (...) I think the idea of having an LMPL separate from the LCD is definitely a good idea. Not everyone is going to want to do animation or whatnot - I know that I'm personally more interested in just having a good way to connect the parts together. (...)
