For those of you following the efforts of LDD users in streamlining the bag use in LDD, CNET published a cool article about it, and LEGO’s reaction to their work. Quoted are Dan Malec, Larry Pieniazek, and Jake McKee (among others).

I find it interesting that the results of their efforts are communicated back to the public via CNET, though. The article states that TLG is a bit surprised but also surprisingly happy about the work done by LDD end users.

Why isn’t TLG giving this sort of feedback though the forum it set up specifically for that? LEGO Factory has been out for three weeks, and the TLG reps have yet to provide any answers (other than “LDD will be improved in the future”).

The efforts of AFOLs to make LDD/LEGO Factory a more useful product have been astonishing, but there’s only so much they can do. What is going on on the TLG side? Anything?
