Hello

What is the place for recent parts such as the Fabuland Car Base or the • Horse?

Everybody will agree that having ALL parts in ONE place is better.
One solution could be to extend the submission page with a new "Deposit"
button. When this button is used by the submitter the part is mentioned as
"Not eligible" in the Parts List and does not appear in the Certification
List. When the part is finally resubmitted using normal "Submit" button it
turns to a normal "No votes" part.

Doing so, no reviewer or administrator inconvenience would be generated by
the new repository functionality.

I don't consider that as a good idea. It doesn't encourage a lot of part
authors to mak their parts perfect. If the part is submitted to the tracker
it shows that the author of the part is really willing to make it official
and work on it.

IMHO would would a deposit like that get a trash-bin for unofficial parts.

At least in Tore's Part Tracker the people still had to put the file on
their own webpage. I would agree to a list where you can see who is working
on what part and where to get a prototype... but not a deposit.
