We could ask for all the model info, and the server will create the header
with the submission. But then what about submodels? They'd need to have
headers cause we can't have a bazillion fields for the separate headers.

Wanna list the rules which would apply to this?

I don't know where we could find another dedicated server for free. That
would be a critical issue, I'd like to keep the site free if at all possible.
No banner ads either. IMO, Jacob is an excellent resource to the site, he
works on all the behind the scenes server stuff and gets stuff set up like
MOTM voting and such.
I didn't even think of wanting DAT Explorer on the site, was it suggested by
someone (before you just now?) That is a good idea to at least have a DAT
Explorer/Datsville page there. But from what I gather Datsville is quite
comfortable on LUGNET, which is fine with me. If John wants to move it to
ldraw.org, I'll accomodate it.
Depending on the future growth of ldraw.org, it might be necessary to move
it. 1) I would need someone (like Jacob) to continue administrating server
issues, which I have no clue how to do. 2) It would have to be
inexpensive/free to use and offer features we cannot get on Hugin. 3) If it
did cost something, it would be nice if people in the community contribued -
my pocketbook is shallow.
Its a catch 22, the future growth of the site may depend on a more dedicated
machine, but at the same time to move to a more dedicated machine the site may
need to grow some.

You're right there.
