I think this is very important. I was working several hours this weekend on my
Ninja set part inventories for my Ninja pages on BayLUG.
(http://baylug.org/ninja/Sets.html)

I was having difficulty describing the parts, and went out to AUCZILLA X to
find the "official" names of the parts. I also spent hours creating images for
colors I could not find and pieces.

I thought to myself, "It would be great if someone had a page of very well
organized pieces with names and ldraw generated images that I could link to
instead of doing all the work myself (which I did)."

I also discovered that there were no standard names for a lot of the unique
ninja pieces, (which I why I am setting up a specific parts page with suggested
names)

(http://baylug.org/ninja/Parts.html)

I would love it if we could all figure out a way to solve these problems
because I am sure that there are a lot of duplicates of these part images out
on the net that could be centralized.

Just my two cents
