Debtags can be used to locate Lego related packages. We tag them using the hardware::hobby:lego tag. They can be found using [[http://debtags.debian.net/search/bytag?wl=hardware::hobby:lego|the debtags search]].

 * LPub4 (GPL2, http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpub4/)
      * the mac port of lpub4 is qt based and compiles fine after regenerating the Makefile with `qmake -spec /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++ CONFIG+=release -o Makefile lpub.pro`
      * there are probems with the scaling of models
      * Somebody has patches to make it work on Fedora 19: https://retracile.net/blog/category/lpub4
      * seems barely alive - upstream took 2 years to respond: https://sourceforge.net/p/lpub4/discussion/702453/thread/d284c304/
 * Brickstore (GPL2, http://www.brickforge.de/software/brickstore/index.en.html)
      * porting from qt3 to qt4 doesnt seem trivial
      * violates the bricklink terms of service?
 * BrickStock (GPL2, http://brickstock.patrickbrans.com/)
      * based on Brickstore
      * probably Brickstore wasn't violating the bricklink ToS after all because BrickStock has similar functionality and is publicly endorsed by bricklink: http://www.bricklink.com/links.asp?catID

 * LDForge (GPL3+, https://github.com/slatenails/ldforge)
      * CAD modeller
      * very young
 * Lic (GPL3+, http://bugeyedmonkeys.com/lic_info/)
      * instruction creator like LPub4 but more automatic
      * less customizable than LPub4 but easier to use
      * original author moved from googlecode to github and seems to be alive again: https://github.com/remig/lic

More stuff

If you have no other dedicated place to document stuff concerning your team, then use this place. You can put documentation (with warnings/!\ and infos{i}), FAQ, TODO list (see "Get Involved" above) , ideas ((!)) etc.

You can use ?Subpages to structure the content if you have many things to document here.
