    MPD, the OMR, and Incomplete Parts —Tim Courtney
   Since we appear to be using MPD for the Model Repository, I think its usefulness could be extended. Because of the patterned parts rule - if there isn't a decorated element for a set use the undecorated version - we will need a list of all errors in (...)

        Re: MPD, the OMR, and Incomplete Parts —Tim Courtney
   (...) Then we should put an errors.txt file in the MPD's to denote each discrepancy in the official models.
