LDraw.org Official Parts Library Standards: Introduction

[Orion Pobursky]

It's time to start discussing the LDraw.org Official Parts Library Standards.


I'll kick this off with 2 items:

1. Is the title "LDraw.org Official Parts Library Standards" a good title? Should we use something better?
2. Review the "Introduction" section and provide feedback.

Desired feedback includes, but is not limited to:
 - Content
 - Grammar
 - Page format
 - Page styling (i.e. the overall look and feel)
 - Page navigation

It's time to start discussing the LDraw.org Official Parts Library Standards.

Only nitpick I noticed at first read trough:

Leading zeros unless immediately before the decimal point must be removed (i.e. 1.5, not 01.5).

Found this a bit confusing, so 0.123,  00000.123  and .123 are all allowed?

Maybe:

Leading zeros unless at most one immediately before the decimal point must be removed (i.e. 1.5, not 01.5).

Found this a bit confusing, so 0.123,  00000.123  and .123 are all allowed?

The first and third are ok, the second is not. This is already enforced by the PT submit validation.

Follow up: Should the PT autocorrect these errors and issue a warning instead?

Good feedback.

Follow up: Should the PT autocorrect these errors and issue a warning instead?

I think this can be an automatic correction (with a proven algorithm).

Maybe followed with a message about what has been corrected?
