Thanks for the kind words Linus and thanks to everyone who has contributed. As for what is the criteria, I’m talking with a lot of AFOL’s in IRC about this and trying to come up with something. Submit whatever you want, I am saving everything though it may not get flagged right away for publication, I am saving everything so it can be reviewed from time to time. I will also be looking for some editors as so as I get an administration interface finished for moderation.

Very cool. I’ve added a couple of things to the history (Erik Brok’s death, start of the Brick Testament), and will go back and start adding some more things. Major fests are obvious. Maybe I’ll go through and add the different CCC’s. What about individual sites? Is it too self-serving to put up something like the birth of VignetteBricks? I’d like to think that it’s been influential. What about “When was that particularly influential model built?” What criteria do we use for this?

I have a lot of info for the AFOL History feed - I will see what I can do to get it to you soon.

Um… he spells “intelligence” incorrectly on his web banner. LOL!

Nice write-up, Linus!

What strikes me most is how nicely Brickverse Today is aggregating LEGO feeds. With ILENN down for the count, perhaps it can take the place for those who don’t want to “roll their own” set of LEGO feeds. The C-S custom model report is also extremely cool.
