This would work. Just don't take Steve off of the new system -- with him
working on it, it's gonna be good.

You can't have your cake and eat it too, Jeremy! Who do you think would be
doing a significant portion (hopefully not all, but non zero) of the
packaging task?

Zipping up the parts already collected: 5 minutes
Writing the disclaimer: 2 minutes
Uploading zipfile and disclaimer to LDRAW.ORG: 3 minutes
Catching the warm glow as the parts preview is released: Priceless.
For the really big tasks there's a design committee. For everything else,
there's SmallTask.

Do you really think this is a 10 minute job? If so you must really have a
low opinion of the gang, then, that they would hold out on you to save a
mere 10 minutes of their time.
I hope that's not the case, but rather that you're just really confused
about how hard it is to do this.
What terrible choices you face me with, though.
Let this drop for a bit, eh? Something will be done. Time to let this rest
before emotions crest above flood stage.

Well tell me then. Larry. How hard is it to just zip up the parts that have
already been submitted, and why? Are they all not sitting in a directory
somewhere on someone's hard drive? Or are they really scattered in an
ad-hoc fashion?
Trust me, I don't intend to argue needlessly over this. But someone's
misinformed; and if it's me, I'd like to fix that.

how about making all unofficial parts go to "unofficial" group like bricks
and plates?

I think I can use my part-voting-preparation utilities to generate a
webpage like the ones we use for voting. So people could check out what
the unofficial parts are, and either download them all in one shot, or just
grab what they want.
