I doubt that we have the time for keeping all the data in it up-to-date (
- in what set was that part?
- available in what colors?
etc.
)
Where are those links buried?
Can we get rid of them?
My reasoning behind this is that
- we will not have time to keep such a database up to date
- I do not want to promote 1 special non-ldraw partsref site as if it was our "official one"
Instead, we should maybe add a search form for parts,
and return results from all partsref sites we currently know.
I wasn’t really thinking of a set reference but more of a more interactive library reference and lookup. Currently the only real parts reference we have is ptscan and that doesn’t show images (or anything else beyond title). Each part detail page could then have a link to the set reference sites to look up sets.
