I have been messing with polyhedra, and wanted a single place to refer to the developments, tools, etc. A wikiproject may be overkill, but contributions are welcomed.

Johnson solids

edit

Talk:Johnson solid tracks my progress creating images for the Johnson solid pages. Below is a reworked version. All pages and images now exist. For my next trick, I plan to update all to use the infobox and the rudimentary "browse" navigation in the infobox (back/fwd).

  • Green ones show results of an audit of infobox and navigation, an activity I commenced in Feb 2005.
  • Darker green ones I also have symmetry group info fix and/or done (I had left it largely undone in 2004, and a few were incorrect - by me and others)

Cyp has written some C code for doing polyhedral nets: Makepolys.c

Other stuff

  • Todo: Net (polyhedron) is a page that needs writing DONE
  • Other stuff as I think of it.

Extracts of previously scattered discussions

I may copy and paste fragments of the scattered conversation between Cyp and myself where it is useful to document what is going on. Todo
