We should develop rules for official model creating and submitting to the
OMR. First off, we can't expect all submissions to follow our
header/filename system. The model editors will have to make sure each file
follows those rules. Here are my suggestions for needed rules:
- Use of actual physical model strongly reccommended, use of instructions
required
- Submodels must reflect submodels in instructions or must reflect movable
part
features on the model
- If the element is available, it must be used. Replace unavailable decorated
elements with un-decorated version of that element
- Minifig accessories are required if available, not required if unavailable
- If there are any discrepancies in the model the author must submit an errors
list for the editors to take note of and to publish in the release of the
MPD
- If a model exists in the repository, the same model by a different author
will
not be accepted
This is just off the top of my head. Editors, readers...if you could think
of some more necessary rules it would be helpful.
Should we require things like the error file to be submitted with the
file?? This might discourage submissions since some people have the models
already done and would not like to put extra work into it. Any preference
over official submodels vs movable parts? What do y'all feel about the
decorated elements clause? Please reply with necessary feedback.

Should we have it relative to the number of pieces, so you divide the number of parts by the number of parts in the model to get the percentage? Also, you could multiply it by a certain (...)

| (...) No, the entire minifig cannot be omitted. It is part of the set, and if the decorated element does not exist, the author is to use the plain version of that file and attach a comment in the errors.dat file or in the model itself. -Tim Courtney (...)
