However, what I would like to see is the part reviewers to concentrate on
"important" new parts, meaning sloped/wedged elements and such! Nothing
wrong with a dozen of new Minifig-torsos, but frankly I don't need them that
urgent. A lot of people would rather like to have the new canopies and
slopes, new parts that came out with the current product line. The parts ARE
there at the tracker, at least most of them, they just have to be reviewed
and, if they don't meet the high standards, improved as fast as possible.

I think this would not be a wise path to follow. It would not be fair to
authors that put hours of work in parts outside your prefered category. They
would like to see their contributions certified within a reasonable
timeframe also. To determine what "importaint" parts are would be totaly
arbitrary, and I would not like to see people networking, lobying and
starting arguments with people to tip the balance in favour of the part they
would like to see first.

Lets keep in mind that this is a voluntary community project, and as such
it's not 100% demand driven. Giving certain part categories priority over
others would frustrate the disadvantaged authors, with a large risk of
reducing their readyness to contribute parts anymore.

With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
