I wonder. . .would it be helpful, or simply more confusing, to introduce more
"levels" of reviewers? Currently a part requires two votes from regular users
plus one from an admin user (which is currently just Steve Bliss, yes?). I
think things might move faster with better quality control and more involvement
if there were three kinds of reviewers:
Beginner: has basic knowledge of LDraw concepts, agrees to certify a part only
after doing the various checks with various software as described in the FAQ
under "What should I look for when I review a part?"
Advanced: experienced LDraw user and author, agrees to certify only parts he or
she owns (when possible); will look for more subtle problems.
Admin: as before.
Under this assembly-line scheme, lots of people could feel comfortable being
"Beginner" reviewers, making sure the part meets minimal requirements (and
doing more if they so wished). "Advanced" reviewers could then focus on parts
that they already know "work", and could apply their skills to determining if
the parts are "good". "Admin" reviewers can be reasonably satisfied that parts
have been reviewed for compliance, correctness, and quality already, easing the
amount of time that must be spent on the final review of each part. I think
something like this could lighten the workload (per part) for reviewers, at the
cost of some of the safety of redundancy.
