Besides that I think we might want to wait and hear more of what Brad has to
say. He said he should get back to us in a couple of weeks to let use know
more about how we help to decide which 12 or so special parts get to be ordered
first. There may be a list that we have to choose from anyway of say 200
potential parts. If that is the case then setting up the voting on all 2000+
parts in the LDRAW directory might be waisted effort.

I believe that all of Gary's points are valid but I just want to add that if we
have 12 parts that we have to decide on then I think there should be some
variety spread among those 12 parts. They should not all be Train related and
they should not all be Windows. I think we should spread the wealth so to
speak. The train folk should get some stuff and the town folk should get some
say. The castle folk might want arches or arched windows and they should have
some say too. That way you give as many people a piece of the pie as
possible.
No matter what we do not everyone will get everything they want but we should
see if we can make as many people happy as we can under the limits Brad gives
us.
