LDraw OMR website

[Merlijn Wissink]

Hi all,

I was wondering : is the OMR still maintained or is it dead?

I have also a remark/request: Following a conversation we had one or two years ago about inlining the non-official parts to make the models OMR compliant.
I was against it but did it anyway. Now there are many models that have parts inlined who have been made official without changing number or orientation. That would be a huge work to find them and update the models. Is there something we can do to help on finding the models with those parts? Like a page listing the models that need to be updated (because they have parts that have been made official)?

It's certainly not dead, but at the moment I'm kind of the only admin. The previous version also had Roland Dahl as admin, but now that I think of it, I never made him admin again in the new version   
And my available free time fluctuates so every now and then there's a burst of models uploaded and then silence again. If you'd like to help, feel free.

About the unofficial parts -> official part conversions. It is something I thought about in the past. And the fact that official parts are inlined is not really a problem, better to have inlined parts than incorrect/no parts at all. But I agree that if possible, inlined parts that can be removed should be removed. I don't know if there are any python programmers here, but if you can write a little script that reads an LDraw file, checks for inlined parts and if they're already official (and if they did not change orientation), that can be used on the site.

Any objections to putting the site on Github? The OMR is not my... finest work   , but that way anyone can help if anyone wants to.
