I think you guys are missing Tim's point. Currenlty when you go to the LDraw tutorial section you have a list of tutorials. What Tim envisions is you go to the ldraw tutorial webpage and you see what? A list of categories, groups, etc... So when you click on say the aniamtion group you then get a list of all courses in the animation group (LA101, LA102, LA201, etc...) When you click on LA101 you get the tutorial. So the formating is min. IF we all just provide Tim with a .txt file and the images. Now the point some of you are making is what the FORMAT of the tutorial itself shoudl be? For that I think we have two current views: is this a hands-on step-by-step tutorial like LA101 or an information based like the beta camera POV tutorial (see early post). A step-by-step IMO should follow this format Page 1 - Title of tutorial, version, date Intended Level of Audience: BEGINNERS, INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCE Requirements Software Needed (list with links or not) Knowledge Needed (list basic skills) Any Pre-req tutorials What this tutorial will teach you Theory (if any - may expand to page 2) Page 2+ Step by Step procedure with images for every 1 or 2 steps. Avoid a sea of text with no images. Use screenshots of what the read should have at each step or two Now for information based courses/tutorials I'm not sure what format to follow. I like the POV camera one of providing a line-by-line code explanation, this is great for BEGINNERS but not advanced users. I Think Tim's idea was to have all LDRAW related tutorials in one central location on the LDRAW site and not lugnet. Lugnet covers a broader area. As is some of the animation tutorial of mine and covering basic POV stuff which is technically NOT ldraw. So overlap is going to happen. But hopefully the tutorials on the ldraw site are in someway related to the ldraw system tools. -Ahui Am i off base here Tim?

(...) I essintialy agree. The format of the tutorials was not the point of the original post. I do like the numbering, I think that it helps not to label the groups with an encoded prefix, I would prefer LDRAW ANIMATION 101 vs. LA101. (...) I think (...)

(...) Kinda sorta. Note, replying to this out of order. (...) You're absolutely right here. I would like as many tutorials as possible to be hosted on LDraw.org. (only limited by author consent, but I doubt that will be a problem). FTX is great for (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I hate to respond to my own post, but I had another thought. Is there a format that would make your life easier to post and that fits within the ldraw.org layout? Maybe putting the entire tutorial into a html table. If we can find some way to (...) (23 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
