oke, as I mentioned earlier, I want to contribute to the reference part of the
lugnet-organisation and I do have some time in the next months. I think all
manuals should be organized under references, with links from the
corresponding sites. I think the OMR section for example should provide the
reader with the general information about the OMR and were he/she can find the
reference.
I read that the standard ldraw.txt and ledit.txt had to be renewed. What about
Bram Lambrechts great tutorial, I saw that's already in HTML, can it be used
and if it can't what is expected from a new tutorial?
I can make a start with the parts-creation tutorial, but feel a bit new to
this area. I've never used the bmp2dat utility for example. Can we use the
text of (e.g.) the help-file of bezgen? Can the primitives-reference be used?
So far,
Bart Titulaer

| Ugg... I know I am over my head in stuff to do, but here we go with another idea: I have been thinking about things like the OMR and parts creation and their eventual places on ldraw.org. It is clear that these things will need their own help (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
