[edit] Split
The article should be split into two articles as soon as it leaves stub status (maybe before)… One article for Zometool, another for Steve Baer's concept of Zome. –Wulf 00:39, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, but I don't know how to do that. Does anyone else? RobertAustin 04:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

- But, on the other hand: a) there is a historical link between the two (and, after all, they've used the same name for both); and b) the fact that Baer (and various Zome-constructing 'followers') have been able to actually construct durable buildings by using these unusual geometries demonstrates a real-world application for what can be learned using the Zometool.

[edit] Zome-toy sets - advertising??
The recent inclusion of material about the Zome-toy sets (including pricing... and wording that reads as promotional) sounds like advertising. Was it lifted from an ad or catalogue? It doesn't read like neutral point of view. Seems inappropriate.
- That's because it was. Whoever included it copied it right off the Zometool website… I've removed it now. –Wulf 00:51, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Diagram
We should have a diagram of the Zome system. Zome has one somewhat like what I'm thinking of (JPEG, sadly) on their site at http://www.zometool.com/model-of-month/mzb/MZBPartLists/B1.B2.B3.Y1.Y2.Y3.R0.R1.R2..jpg. I'm imagining something like they have, but including all the green struts, and with nodes with the various shapes highlighted alongside their respective struts. Preferably in SVG format. Anybody up to the challenge? –Wulf 04:12, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] compound of five cubes picture
This is a beautiful pic, but it could use a little more explanation. The compound of five cubes is simply the blue figure shown, if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure what to call the red or yellow figures that are entertwined with the blue. RobertAustin 04:22, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
