Yeah kinda funny. Sheesh...I spent about an hour and a half in a car with you,
and another hour and a half at a restaurant. ;-)

Very little, but it was brought up. Mostly when chatting with Leonardo.

Ok. Then we need to chat and finalize how they will be stored and indexed on
the server. This is the last big issue to tackle, and then the work related to
it. From what I recall Todd suggested just putting them on
lugnet.cad.dat.models.sets to store, with something in the header. LDraw.org
can then retrieve the files from LUGNET and store them. Page generation,
searchability, and indexing are issues. By theme? Set number? Name? Or all of
the above (and how)?

Well, write a new post and pull up my old posts 'finalizing' the header and file
creation standards. Then post your proposed revisions. Post any suggestions
for server storage, and solicit help to solve that. We'll have to see how that
goes, I never meant for it to drag on unfinished for so long, but other things
always got in the way. Even now, 90% of my LDraw energy needs to be devoted to
the organization and parts license.
Thanks.
