An interesting openScad project for the libraries.

I see more projects at GitHub with openScad:

Perhaps more interesting to the website of openScad from GitHub projects.

Not sure what to do about this. You can certainly scratch Adam-CAD from the list, that's not going on the website. I saw that recently on Mastodon and it's as far away from OpenSCAD as one can possibly imagine.

Without expressing any opinion on the value of any of these links... adding these would more than double the size of the existing https://openscad.org/libraries.html list. At some point it would become just noise, no better than a Google search for "OpenSCAD library", only with some need to maintain it.

I tentatively suggest that the requirements for being on the Libraries list be something like:

• Author requests addition.
• Open-ish license. (No advertising for commercial products.)
• Is in some real sense a library. Not an individual project or a random collection of work that you might be able to cherry-pick something interesting from.
• Is documented (not just comments).

We might also want to have a link farm somewhere for things that are related to OpenSCAD (or to programmatic CAD in general?), but are not libraries. CADAM looks like it might be such a thing. FreeCAD might be another (since it imports OpenSCAD programs/data). SolidPython. Et cetera.

Some libraries are obsolete or very old with no actual support like BOSL.
BOSL 2 is no more in beta and successor of BOSL.

An invitation is also possible in modern life to candidates.
Or is here a contact Formular to be in this libraries?

[t-paul]

Separate Form, no, and that's also unlikely to happen.

Ideally like #188.

Otherwise I can try to create an issue-form here asking for the required information for people who don't want to mess with the HTML.

Even better would be if we could dust off the library-manager and get that going finally.

@stefano2734 just pointing to a typo that could cause confusion... "open cascade" is the geometry kernel used in FreeCAD :)
