But I find it a little difficult to see how you can participate unless you're
one of the small handfull of reviewers with a constant level of high
activity:

If you aren't paying really close attention to the PT on a daily basis, how
are you supposed to spot eligble (new) files among all the resubmitting and
reviewing activity in the "recent activity log"?

Isn't it possible to automate the process and make a true "recent uploaded
files"-log like the "recent activity log" - And if so, perhaps even feeding
this list into the voting module automatically so that all new parts
participate in the contest and no one gets overlooked:

Assuming that the number of truly new parts each month is rather limited, I
can't really see why a "House of Lords" of super reviewers (and occasional
author) should need to keep track of the recent files, and have an initial
"vote" on which parts {they'd} want to redirect to the admins, and make the
admins spend time adding the parts to the list manually - before the general
LDraw audience even have a real chance to participate...

I really hate to sound like the average lugnet bitch here, but I can't help
feeling that the current model creates unnessecary work and hurt the
democratic process...

niels,

what do you think content managers are for? voting will be of course a piece of
cake! just like MOTM/SOTM. luckily I've already started to set up a ballot and
luckily I've got already some entries - have a look:

you cannot vote yet since voting starts the 1st of March as stated in this post:

Ok, I just woke up 30 minutes ago after far too few hours of sleep (as usual), and realized that I should've just shut up and see how things unfolded... considering how many times the well meaning people of this community have managed to make things (...)
