In the effort to formalize the initial proposal [4] for the LDraw.org Standards Committee (LSC) into a final draft, a call for public discussion has been posted at LUGNET [5].
The LDraw.org Standards Committee (LSC) is responsible for maintaining semi-regular internal discussions on pending file format issues, the overall progress of the LDraw file format and new or proposed developments made by different LDraw-based software authors. They adopt new official standards by voting on them, and publish documentation on LDraw.org following such a decision. The LSC has documented and will document past, current and future LDraw File Formats.
If you share a concern for the future of LDraw.org, please take the time to visit the LSC Final Draft [6], read through the document, and share your feedback on LUGNET [7].
Once discussion of this final draft (and its subsequent versions) has died down, and once general consensus among the public is achieved, the document will undergo a similar ratification process as the LDraw Bylaws did in 2004.
We aim to reach agreement by the 15th of July and ratify along with the upcoming LSC elections.
