The Tore Temporary Parts Tracker was a convenient one.
It is now superceded by the official LDraw Parts Tracker when it comes to
officialization.
But Steve Bliss emails me that submitting a mockup or even an unfinished
part and voting NO, pointing out the known defects or incompletions, is a
discouraged behavior.

Can lugnet.cad.dat.parts really be considered as a convenient repository?
I don't think so.

Do you really know where to find the Rope Bridge?
Do you really know where to find the Millenium Falcon Canopy?
Do you really know where to find the Space Police I Plastic Wheel?

And yet these unofficial parts all really exist.

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.

The night has changed my mind.
I now realise that accessibility is a secondary problem.
The main problem is and will remain to help the production of more and
better parts.

Having more accessible low quality parts would just be a poor substitute.
