Will the (non-LUGNET/RTL) public be able to vote for parts to be included each
month? If so - how? If this involves an internet piece-database of any kind
then great :)

How about voting on all parts which are not commonly available that are
required to build highly sought after classic sets like the 6067 Guarded Inn,
375 yellow castle, Galaxy Explorer or the Metroliner.
We have the instructions so we know what parts we need to build it.
Couple people could get together and each buy 100 (or the minimum quantity
required) of a certain part needed to build 100 guarded inns or yellow
castles.  Then everybody would send all the parts to a middle person who will
use them to build the sets and sell them back to people who want them for far
below current auction prices.  Instructions could be done in Ldraw or
downloaded from Brickshelf.

(...) Do you have rough pricing? Eg for a 2x4 red brick? Will pricing involve a sliding scale? Eg, if there are any economies of scale for shipping out 1000 same-type elements to one person, rather than shipping 100 same-type elements to 10 people.. (...)
