can parts authors try to finish what they have started before they start new parts? i notice that the parts tracker lists lots of "in progress" parts and i have others such as the tie fighter bracket that are not even listed! one person in particular (i am not naming names but he made the starwars laser cannon...) is guilty of this. i count about 12 parts currently in progress by this author... he is not the only guilt one though. come on tore, where is the train wheel rubber ring??? it is probobly only a 5 minute part... and the oither train parts... the train wheel spoked. when are you going to finish it and submit it for voting???

		Re: can parts authors try to finish what they have started?

		Re: can parts authors try to finish what they have started?
it is not the fact that there are parts unfinished it is that there are parts unfinished and the same author is making new parts (thinks insectoid legs and wings... thinks canoe... thinks quarter saucer hull... thinks oilcan...) (25 years ago, 5-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

		Re: can parts authors try to finish what they have started?
(...) But realize the difficulty of some of the parts you mentioned. The canoe came up in discussion a while back as being difficult - look at it. The quarter saucer hull has to be another one. I am not a parts author and do not aspire to be. You (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

		Re: can parts authors try to finish what they have started?
(...) That would be nice. Too bad it's not a perfect world. At least there's a record that the part has been worked on. If someone else wants to work on the part, they can contact the first author, and maybe avoid some duplicate effort. (...) Is (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
