It seems to me that LDraw has become a project of secrecy and inside
work.  When did it stop being an "open" project?  When did discussions
concerning LDraw cease to be done in the open?  I think I missed this.


I realize that whoever work with the project may want some "anonymity"
to avoid being "spammed" with beginner's questions and so on.  It is
probably hard to direct people to the newsgroups.  Some people tend to
want to email a single person with a question, rather than posting on
a newsgroup.  But is there really a need to hide all the work from the
public anyway?


I realize also that discussions on the newsgroup tend to get all noisy
and go nowhere.  This is probably frustrating to work with, and I can
see the desire to go underground.  It is probably a lot easier to get
things done when working alone, not having to achieve consensus among
a diverse group as the people (left) on lugnet.cad.*.

HeeHeee! I have great faith in Tim that one day LDraw will become an open project, but I don't think it has ever been one in the past! :) As soon as the parts library is opened up, I promise I'll check it all into Sourceforge.org, so one can use (...)
