About the only thing ldraw.org could[1] do is to start an 'LDraw.org

Mickey-Mouse to be worth doing, IMO.

But, isn't that more-or-less exactly what happens with the parts library?

Not really.  The important thing with the parts library is that files are
accepted and added the distribution file.  We don't even have a '0
Official' any more - now it's '0 LDRAW_ORG'.

I was envisioning the 'LDraw.org Compatible' program to be a set of
verbiage and site icon images, identifying a program as following the
standards laid out by LDraw.org.  'Mickey Mouse' was probably a harsh label
to use; I meant that such a program wouldn't be worth doing if our main
intent was to get developers to produce LDraw-compatible programs.

LDraw compatible, or LDraw.org compatible? ;-)

You made a distinction before -- are you using the same metric now as well?
Just curious.

(...) Sorry, 'LDraw.org-compatible programs'. Which is poor terminology, I think. Steve (22 years ago, 22-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
