Hi, Steve!
I wonder if the lack of reviewers has anything to do with not knowing what
to do or how to do it. This is exactly my case. I would be willing to help
out with the parts reviewing process and help get parts ready for release,
but I haven't known what to do! :)
I went to the Parts Tracker page on ldraw.org and found the PT FAQ. In there
I found some answers to my questions, but I was surprised that the PT FAQ
was not much mentioned here.
