Beaker was working on one, but he changed jobs or something and could no longer spend the time. It was suggested that he post what he had done here and we could all work on it together. Want to take the challenge? If you have some material, post it (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

Hey Todd, FAQ Maintainer, anyone working on the FAQ, What's the status of this FAQ? It is mythical, or has it achieved a life of its own yet? Is there anyone working on it? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq, lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Bingo. Especially common part numbers which run in a sequence along with the size of related parts (like the 2x4, 2x3, 2x2, 2x1, 1x1 bricks are numbered in order from 3001 to 3005). I think Patrick's file has common, basic parts organized into (...) (26 years ago, 1-Mar-99, to lugnet.faq)
