howD all,
a couple of things have precipitated this post:
1) my domain name of WorldLUG is expiring soon
2) due to my being in graduate school I will have no time to implement
WorldLUG
3) I believe in cooperation over competition and open-access over
proprietary development
So, I’m putting WorldLUG into the public domain for anyone who wants to
develop it. I’d love to stay involved as a creative thinker if possible.
What follows here is our original scope document. The point of WorldLUG was
not to implement these features ourselves, but rather to establish some
community protocols (XML, SOAP, etc) by which all of our favorite sites
(Lugnet, Bricklink, Brickshelf, Peeron, etc.) could be interactive with each
other, each adding their own features to the community whole. WorldLUG would
be the portal to unite the community cooperatively.

This sounds pretty interesting. You mention that a lot of it is coded - do you
have a description of what’s already created, such as specifications, proof of
concept code, features, programming language(s) used, etc.? I’d like to follow
this, even if I’m far too overwhelmed with other work to be an active
participant at this time.
I certainly hope you get some people to step up and
continue what sounds like a very intriguing project.
Good luck,
Kelly
