- When I first asked if there would be any interest in the site, a large
- thread got started about what format objects should be archived in. After
- a long discussion of why "X-format is better that Y-format, though Z-format
- is the most flexible even if it isn't popular", I decided to have objects
- in ANY format welcome. This way, people who think a specific format is
- the best can get or write a converter program appropriate to it and see
- if anyone else agrees. Incidentally, I haven't received many converter
- programs... what happened? No good programmers out there? :-) :-) :-)
-
- Nobody has uploaded any .rib files, which is why there aren't any. If
- anyone does, I'll just make another subdirectory and start collecting
- those as well. Anyone care to start the ball rolling on that?
