I've only done one part so far and I've had just 4 comments (1 on an "almost
done it" post, 2 on a "done it but no optional lines yet", and 1 by private
mail). How can Steve (and any else involved in parts officialisation) get
through the masses if nobody is going to look at the parts and followup on
whether they're fine or not? I feel that I don't have enough experience to
do this, and the authors themselves can't really do it as they would have
biased opinion on their own parts, so it's falls to the readers of
cad.dat.parts to do this and it just doesn't seem to be happening - everyone
wants a parts update but nobody appears to be prepared to check the parts
that have been posted and comment on them. If this doesn't happen now how
can the new system Steve is building work - I thought that was going to be
based on people checking the parts themselves and voting on them to get the
officialised, but if nobody's doing it now what will happen in the future?
I know that it can be really hard to find unofficial parts as sometimes they
seem to posted to Steve but not to dat.parts so it would be beneficial to be
able to download them, *but* there really needs to be a huge notice saying
that the parts are being made available so that people can check them and
vote on them, and that by downloading them they agree to try and do their
part in this to get them officialised, in a similar way to handing out of
beta software is often accompanied by an agreement that you will feedback
problems and comments to the developers before final release (I've been
through this with ORA and MS and I know how important feedback can be at
beta stage).
