(...) I see it as being complimentary. My feeling is that good articles should be brought across to the main site. This, though, would be a decision for the webmasters and SteerCo and can probably wait until the wiki is up and running in full. Tim (17 years ago, 29-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Hi all, Following recent discussions, Dan Boger has very kindly set us up a wiki for LDraw. This is intended to be a way for anyone to add 'content' of relavence to LDraw easily and without relying on the time of the webmasters to integrate it into (...)

(...) I think Curiously should be replaced with "Distressingly" or something similar. The official MPD tutorial on ldraw.org is telling people to do something that completely violates the MPD spec. If you follow those instructions, you'll end up (...) (17 years ago, 21-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Curiously enough, the tutorial cited ((URL)) recommends making the first submodel an empty model in order to "help in speeding up the upload time" for large models. I think it's interesting that MPD is still often presented as an extension to (...) (17 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Tim, I agree. At the time the article was written, MPD was a way of packing files for easy shipping. These days it is the preffered way of working with any model that has at least one sub-model. Starting and ending as MPD is much better than (...)

--snip-- (...) I think we're not talking about the same proccess. For me 'making an MPD file' is something you do at edit time. Editing a bunch of files, then calling LPub to join them is not as easy as editing them in MLCAD using the MPD menu to (...) (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Well, because MLCad's process is so manual, it is very easy to create MPD files that are incomplete or not in the right order. One of MPD's rules is that the first FILE is the top level model. I've gotten plenty of letters from people who say (...) (17 years ago, 17-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
