if you like, I can also format my L2P/LGEO Tutorial to be included to
ldraw.org.

I'll do what I can. But even as a student, i have a summer course, I have
a job, and I have LGEO which eats a lot of my time, along with keepign the
reference up to date.
I'd also hope there'd be more interest, I noticed a slow down in thing recently
also. Can't explain why.

  IMPORTANT - [ldraw.org] Help Still Needed

We are in need of help working with reference material for the most part. As quoted from a previous post: 5. Reference (...) (27 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad, lugnet.admin.general)
