I hope that everyone who contributes to the parts library realizes that
their parts are likely to be updated, corrected, moved, modified and/or
plagiarized at some point.

Should I post the parts here, or email them to partsref first?

If the fixes were minor and mechanical, just mail 'em to partsref.  Like,
for instance, if there was a technic gearbox released with the wrong size
in the descriptive name, and it took two years for anyone to notice, I
wouldn't bother to post the correction to lugnet.  Just for instance.

Also, what form of revision note should be entered in the file?

My standard is to put a comment line just after the header, like:

0 YYYY-MM-DD SEB I made changes X, Y, Z

If there are already similar comments in the file, put the new comment(s)
before the others.

Should I make an entry at each changed line, or just at the beginning of the
data section?

That's your choice.  It's not a bad idea to mark the specific lines, unless
you are changing a bunch of lines throughout the file.

Steve
