    can parts authors try to finish what they have started? —Jonathan Wilson
   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 (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

     (...) I would agree with this myself. I'm looking for a part to use desperately in a model that someone has been planning on starting since the end of 1997. (...) But I don't agree with this part of the message. Please don't presume others have (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

      (...) No, new projects are always more fun. :) (...) Forgive me, for I have sinned. I will do some classic train parts tonight, and then go through the Parts Tracker page.

        Re: can parts authors try to finish what they have started? —Tim Courtney
     (...) Good thought. Perhaps that should be included in the concept of the parts tracker. I think that it would work well to be able to either team-create parts or make it so when one person gets stuck or loses interest someone else can pick it up. (...)

        Re: can parts authors try to finish what they have started? —Jonathan Wilson
     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)

     Thinks someone should really stop bitching about this. You've been told this many times, just to be sure this time... THE PART AUTHORS ARE NOT GETTING PAID TO DO THIS JOB. THEY DO IT OUT OF LOVE FOR A VERY COOL HOBBY. I personally am glad when they (...) (25 years ago, 6-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: can parts authors try to finish what they have started? —Tim Courtney
     (...) 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)

   (...) 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)

   (...) i remember that steve bliss made it and the part that was posted was close to being finished. what i was saying is that someone should finish the part because it is probobly 90% complete, not like the canoe and quarter saucer hill that are (...)

        Re: can parts authors try to finish what they have started? —Steve Bliss
   (...) So why should it be on the Parts Tracker? I made a *mockup* file. That's different from working on a file worth including in a parts update. (Those studs inside the inverted slope are killers) Steve (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
