[LSC] LDraw.org Official Library Header Specification

[William Howard]

Only problem with that change is that every other qualified reference to username in the spec is to "LDraw username"

We need to pick one, and make the spec read consistently.

I'm happy to defer to the PT Admins on which is the "correct" nomenclature

  The point is that the paragraph that Michael quoted uses two different terms for the same thing.  Based on the responses here, "LDraw username" should probably be changed to "PT username".

    There is only one PT username per author, BUT not all part authors have a PT username.

    Some (old) parts were authored by people who never joined the PT, so the header can only credit them by name and not by name and username

    For me, the author line will read
    0 Author: William Howard [WilliamH]

    but for an author without a PT username it will read (for example)
    0 Author: James Jessiman

    Hope that helps

      If understand the question correctly, it's just one username. Folks need to register with LDraw.org to get an LDraw username. If they want to submit parts to the Parts Tracker, I just assign the necessary to that username.

        I'm pretty sure there's only one username.

          Hi Guys,
          I just try to translate http://www.ldraw.org/Article398.html to German language and found the following:

            UserName is the author's LDraw username. It needs to be optional for those past authors that don't have a PT username.

          Are there two (2) usernames required? 

          I think not, but I am not so long with you (since 2004).
          If I remember right I got more privileges to send parts to the PT, but no new username!

          I think this has to be rewritten.
