The LSC has just ratified the LDraw.org Parts numbering scheme for parts with unknown numbers.
It should allow to add parts to the library where the part number is not known. As the systematic that is used up to now has reached its limits this change is necessary. Please read also the FAQ for LDraw Part Numbers Michael Heidemann On behalf of the LDraw.org Standards Committee (LSC)  Published By mikeheide on Feb 05, 2010 - 10:10 PM The LSC has just ratified the LDraw.org Localisation Guideline.
It should be a guideline for implementing localisations for the LDraw System of Tools. Michael Heidemann On behalf of the LDraw.org Standards Committee (LSC) Published By mikeheide on Jan 06, 2010 - 10:11 PM

Published By timgould on Mar 28, 2007 - 12:34 PM We know that you would prefer reading about new parts updates announcements instead of politics and bureaucratics, but unfortunately those things also have to be done and decided on in order to ensure the smooth running of LDraw.org. As you know we have two elected bodies, the Steering Committee (SteerCo) as the overall governing structure and the LDraw Standards Committee (LSC) as the technical standards board charged with discussing, ratifying, and publishing LDraw.org file format specifications. Beside those two groups LDraw is run by other boards like the Content Management, the Helpdesk, the System Administration and last but certainly not least the Parts Tracker Administration. Since they each require specific skills and knowledge and also because they existed long before LDraw was turned into a democratic organization the volunteers occupying those positions never underwent an election and it has been tradition that outgoing members pass over the sceptre of their little kingdom to someone they thought could fill their boots. The SteerCo has been questioned about the accountability of the "chairs" at LDraw. Are they appointed, elected, etc.? Are those positions sandboxes to play with "until I‘m bored with it?; a job for life", or is the site the community‘s window to the world? If these volunteers, the PT admins or the helpdesker do a bad job, is there a way for the community to "fire" them? A highly delicate issue as you can imagine.

As we move forward on the Contributor Agreement for the Parts Library it is important that we have community input. This LUGNET thread has been created in order to discuss some of these issues and it would be appreciated if people took the time to read it and to comment if they feel the need.

The LDraw Administration Team proudly presents the POTM – Part Of The Month contest for LDraw Part Authors. It is no news that programmers get most of the spotlight and little goes to "the unsung heroes of the LDraw CAD world" - this contest should give more visibility to the author's work. The POTM contest has two categories:
All entries will run in both categories. People can vote for parts that they are happy about due to their own desire to use the parts, and also vote for the parts that took the most apparent effort.

Published By Holly-Wood on Dec 14, 2006 - 03:33 PM We are pleased to announce the relaunch of LDraw.org's MOTM/SOTM contest.
Moving the curatorship has caused some trouble, but now we are back on track and open submissions to MOTM/SOTM once again. Have a look at: http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?module=LdrawMOTM Read the rules and submit you model or scene. We are aware that there is little time left for the October contest, which exceptionally will close the 27th, but we seek some more entries in addition to the stuff which has been collected from the beginning of the year.
