Heh.  Well, the biggest we've done with the Parts Tracker.  I think the
2000-02 update was the largest ever, with 258 files.

BTW, I'm showing 62 files need admin review currently.  Including 13
fixes, which we can 99% count as going to certified! in the near future.

If all the redone primitives get certified, that will at least another 15
files that were already certified before the second round of BFC'd
primitives hit the tracker (in addition to the primitives themselves).  It
will also bring back to the top a ton that only needed admin votes.

(Hm, that sounds like a whole heck of a lot of work is riding on Steve's
shoulders- hang in there!)

thanks.

What's the ongoing plan for releases here- is release dependant on part
count, timing, or mood swings?  I'm assuming it's a bit of all three...

You got it right in one.  The *general* plan is to have a release every
month, or maybe every other month.  However, the number of certified
files will heavily influence the timing.  The more files we get, the
sooner we release an update.

A crucial factor in the timing of a parts update is getting the
certified list into a stable state.  Right now, we've got some BFC
primitives that need to be ceritified, and the horse parts are
partly-certified, partly-not-certified.  It's extra work for me to
verify that 'grouped' files are all released together, and to hold back
parts that are related to other files which aren't certified yet.  I'd
rather avoid the extra work, so I'm waiting for the horse files to all
be certified before I really think about cutting a part update.
