Richard,
My comments reside below among your own.

I think this may be an effort to organize in a way similar to what other SIGs
(Special Interest Groups) in the LUG community have done. For example, I know
the Castle Sig spoke about “Castle Base Standards” like the Space SIG created at
http://www.classic-space.com/ This enabled them to build a much larger layout
than one or two people could build on their own. The standard enables people to
come together an create a much larger castle/hamlet in a cooperative manner. I
unfortunately missed the discussion so I do not know what was decided.

I was thinking about all that was discussed in the previous post and thought
that all of that stuff could probably be done cooperatively through Lugnet
and Brickshelf. For “special feature” sections you could use FTX personal
pages -- just for example.

LUGNET is important and there might not be room for forums which already exist
successfully here. FBTB got started during a lull in the responsiveness of the
LUGNET and due to the initiative of a few to have their own cotrol over forum
creation and content development. Others have create web sites that go beyond
what the LUGNET web site offers.

Ultimately, it seemed to me that such features could be added in here and the
possible additional costs could be offset by money raised here for the
benefit of lugnet, brickshelf, and the special castle section admins.

LUGNET might be in for growth and changes in the future, but in the immediate
future the forums and the set database are what it offers (among other things).
I do not think a web site devoted to castle would be inappropriate.

I guess my larger issue is that there are already other Lego sites that I
just cannot make the time to visit. I would hate to think that instead of
sensibly uniting in one place to a particular purpose, we are dividing the
community instead. I can see other sites popping up where language barriers
exist, but not just out of hand.

Interesting point about the language barriers. You hit upon a global issue that
unfortunately, few have begun to address. More importantly I do not know if it
is within a small group of individuals to be able to overcome the language
barriers that you mention. Do you have a language barrier with LUGNET?
I think what the guys propose is cool. See other posts for some limitations that
I believe they need to address.
