No, I'm saying that if anyone is thinking about adding a meta-command they
need to, at the very least, post what they plan to add so that the community
can comment and ultimatly say yea or nay.  Once the committee us up a
running thay will take over the yea or nay part, but only after community
discussion.

the more I think about it, the less sense it makes to me.  The
community (or the "board") could suggest names, and keep track of what's
out there - but a "yea or nay" power seems excessive.  How, exactly, do
you propose you enforce this "nay"?

I think a list of meta-commands does make sence, so people won't
inadvertently step over each other toes.  But "regulating" the
meta-commands seems like over kill to me.

Point taken, but I still think developers should discuss what they want to
add with LDraw.org and Lugnet.cad.dev so that they don't add something
that's already been added or being developed.
