2) Create new votes: "will review" and "will not review".  (The "will not
review" could be for whatever undisclosed reason---wrote the part, don't
have the part, don't care about the part, author stole the reviewer's girl
in the seventh grade. . .)  This would most obviously benefit the
admins---if one admin won't review a part, the other knows he must.  It
would really help all reviewers prioritize their reviewing activities.

Hmm.  I can see why "will not review" is good, but I'm not seeing the importance
of "will review".

My guess: If someone votes "will review" it's like it's on their to-do list
because they think they're a good candidate. Submitting a modified part should
not clear WILL NOT and WILL review votes. Only a hold/certify should clear them

Give a way to search the parts you tagged WILL review and it's your own to-do
list. Give a way to search the parts someone else tagged WILL review and it's a
nag list.

If enough people vote will review, the part has enough reviewers to get done. If
no one does, and no one reviews it, maybe a campaign to provide more info is
appropriate.

The above is all my guessing. Not sure it's a good idea or not, but something to
mull over?



3) Create a bit for every part on the Tracker, set at submission time:
(a) Feel free to make fixes if you find problems
(b) Please notify the author if you find problems
with (b) changing to (a) if a part has a hold vote stand for more than 30
days.  This would provide a formal convention which would allow many
small problems to be quickly fixed, while also allowing authors to retain
control of their parts throughout the certification process, if desired.
It would also end the problem of orphan parts.  (There are many orphans
that have been on the Tracker for a long time.)

That's a good idea.

Agree.

However, it really should allow the author to revisit the
part, and change the setting.  :/

Only by uploading a revised part maybe?

Going back a ways for this one... (...) I considered going a similar route when I constructed the PT: offer reviewers a list of checkpoints that they should consider when posting a review. I abandoned this thinking because the 'rules' for processing (...) (21 years ago, 3-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
