    Has anyone heard anything more about this project?  The site has
apparently not been updated since the 22nd of September 1999.

    In the absence of any substantive news, I have embarked on my own
consolidation of piece descriptions and image files.  It is based on
Ldraw images and the descriptions used for online parts auction sites.
I am distilling the important aspects into several MS Access
databases. If anyone would like to discuss this further, I will
entertain their contributions either here or via e-mail.

    Meanwhile, let's hope that Sybrand has not been separated from his
Lego too long.

Hello everybody,

I've been working on the Lepanadat project (parts names database) for some time
now. It doesn't go very fast as I had also much other things to do, so it
probably will take some time before it is finished.
As I'm leaving Switzerland for the Netherlands by the end of the week, I will
not have much computer access for one or two months, so the project will slow
down a bit for some time. To show you what I've done so far, I've added two new
pages. Both are text files, without any pictures or so, just list with part
numbers and names:

http://members.tripod.com/~Sybrand_Bonsma/lepanadat/overview.txt
This is a text file containing the LDraw parts number and their names. I've
added about 200 part names used by Tim Vattima to this list already.

http://members.tripod.com/~Sybrand_Bonsma/lepanadat/tv-edit.txt
This is a text file containing all part names from Tim Vattima's set inventory
that haven't been added to the overview list yet. LDraw numbers for about 300
or 400 parts are also added to this list, I've to find the Ldraw numbers for
the other parts yet, which are mainly minifig accessoires/bodies etc. and
Technic pieces. When I've checked all pieces, the part names will be added to
the overview list.

If I can get somebody to get the nomenclature down, I will offer to set up a database that will accept the inventories. I was starting on that same project, but it was indeed too immense for me to do alone. I would really like to see an updated (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

It has been a while since I updated the page for the last time. Because I found a new job and had to move, I lately had not very much time over. I also still had to do many things for my own collection, so the Lepanadat project was somewhat on the (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary)
