Kevin,
Let me preface my response by saying I'm a programmer,
but with zero socket or plug-in experience; I've never
had a need to do either.
Now the reason I've de-lurked: you've suggested a
couple times that you would incorporate useful code
into the core of LPub. This sounds good, but seems
like a lot of extra work for you maintaining LPub. Why
not follow the lead of LDDP and keep useful code
modular in the form of plugins? I think this would be
highly useful, allowing users to customize as they
wish and IF there were to be different solutions to a
common "problem," a user can select the one best for
their needs.
Again, I'm on the outside looking in, so I'm not sure
how valuable my input is. I'll just leave my penny on
the table and exit the room quietly now.

| (...) I want to put no limitations on what people contribute to LPub, because I could use the help. I originally imagined that the "LPub extension" stuff would simply be GUI free, behind the scenes code that would make LPub deviate from its normal (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| In attempt to flesh out the LPub extension facilities, I thought I'd describe how LPub works. LPub is two parts, a GUI that lets you modify global attributes used when generating building instructions, and the processes to create the building (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
