Umm...
Here are my thoughts. Given the standard header/hard drive storage system as
posted at:
http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=251
I say we index them by set number only. This will be the easiest, IMO. A
person can search for the set by theme/name on LUGNET
(http://guide.lugnet.com/set/) and then key in the set number on LDraw.org to
download the DAT. I feel that way because they're to be stored on a hard drive
in a directory with the set number...so why not index them that way? No where
in the file naming system does it acknowledge the set name. LUGNET can link
directly to the DAT file on LDraw.org so it can be downloaded too (much similar
to how it points to Brickshelf instructions).
Brickshelf splits the index into numbers, last time I saw. Eg.
/6000/6XXX/
So, 6195 Neptune Discovery Lab would be at
http://www.ldraw.org/repository/official/6000/6195.mpd
(no need for a redundant directory when the MPD name is the number)
or
http://models.ldraw.org/sets/6000/6195.mpd
Thoughts?
