Ok, updated the secret thing with the secret link :)
<InPhase>
Do I have access to the secrets? I don't see them.
<InPhase>
Oh!
<InPhase>
That's a stupid setting.
<InPhase>
"View as: Public" was on.
<teepee>
oh, that's not very useful in that case :)

Looks like we have a good start. 10 of 24, and I didn't upload my premade one yet.
<JordanBrown[m]>
How do you feel about using unreleased features, and about requiring more than one file? I have one that makes kind of interesting use of the import-svg-by-layer feature.
<InPhase>
J1A84: Current secret door 8 is pretty nice. I like that style of procedural generation.
<InPhase>
I assume we might shuffle some of these at some point before release if we fill them in fast enough, to spread out the Ulrich ones.
<teepee>
all a matter of definition, and extending support of the web stuff
<InPhase>
Although the existing set is already very nicely varied.
<teepee>
yes, right now it's alphabetic :)
<teepee>
like we can add a "needs snapshot version" note
<InPhase>
JordanBrown[m]: On principle we tried to minimize unreleased features, but I did use one once on a past calendar, and noted this in the notes with a date from when the build must be after.
<teepee>
also right now we still have the CC0 headline, would be nice to keep it, but I would not mind changing that either
<InPhase>
JordanBrown[m]: So if it's justified for the design and a compelling usage, go for it. But we should avoid calendar entries that have incidental master-branch-only features like the comma issues, or where things are trivially avoidable with substitutions to release-supported equivalents.
<JordanBrown[m]>
Right.
<teepee>
yeah, that makes sense
<InPhase>
JordanBrown[m]: It was my detailed tree that I put a non-release feature into, because I had to make that change to have rands that worked for procedurally generated animations, discovered while making the tree.
* teepee
switches to release version :)
<InPhase>
JordanBrown[m]: So if something like that, or something where it would be unreasonably ugly without a release feature.
<InPhase>
s/without a release feature/without a non-release feature/
<InPhase>
Although, now that I'm thinking it out, a second question is should we permit experimental features. :) Because that's a separate notion.
<JordanBrown[m]>
This particular one has three potential issues:
<JordanBrown[m]>
1) It requires an external SVG file.
<JordanBrown[m]>
2) It uses the unreleased import-SVG-by-ID feature.
<JordanBrown[m]>
3) Its copyright status is not entirely clear; the line drawing originates from a craft site that clearly intends you to copy the drawing.
<InPhase>
Copyright status needs to be cleared before it can be CC0'd. No way around that one. But perhaps an offline svg to polygon input converter? :)
<JordanBrown[m]>
Well, sure, the SVG could be converted to basic OpenSCAD, but technically it wouldn't be nearly as interesting that way.
<InPhase>
JordanBrown[m]: Quickest polygon converter, grab your data = render() build and print out.
<JordanBrown[m]>
Yeah, but like I said, not nearly as technically interesting.
<InPhase>
Ok.
<InPhase>
I've had a few "almost calendar worthy" ideas that I couldn't get hammered into the right format.
<InPhase>
Maybe that's one of them.
<JordanBrown[m]>
We're not being super-ultra-secret, right? Here's the .scad file; I think it's kind of self-explanatory why the technique is interesting: https://bpa.st/VVOA

<JordanBrown[m]>
The SVG file has various areas; the .scad file applies 2.5D to them by name.
<JordanBrown[m]>
WRT copyright... looking at the web site's ToS doesn't look good, but again it's a craft site where they are specifically saying "follow these instructions to duplicate this picture". They have a contact address; I'll ask them.
<InPhase>
I guess that id thing is not experimental, so that's a plus.
<InPhase>
And it's clearly Christmasy.
<JordanBrown[m]>
InPhase I know I showed it to you; teepee, do you want to see a screen shot?
<InPhase>
I guess if you get copyright clearance that looks like a go to me.
<InPhase>
We're already posting .3mf files with the .scad files. We could probably toss in a support .svg there.
<J1A84>
that bpa.st bunny is now or?
<J1A84>
new
<InPhase>
J1A84: I think that's new.
<InPhase>
Asking supakeen (the site owner) about it. :)
<teepee>
I remember the image
<teepee>
yeah, I did not see much reason to make that filter stuff experimental

I sent the craft-site person a note asking for permission.
