LDraw OMR website

[Chris Dee]

And in the end, the files are not as 'important' as the parts right? I mean, people make the LDraw files of sets for fun and people download them for fun.

I think people model parts mainly for fun too, and whilst part quality might be more important to the commuinity than model quality, I would like to see the LDraw 'brand' maintain its reputation for high quality deliverables.

It doesn't matter that much if the file isn't certified by x amount of people and checked for a long list of errors.

I didn't suggest a value for 'x', just that a certification process is my preference. Although for parts x=3, for models it might only need to be 1 (anyone, or the OMR admin).

If it is correct and not a complete mess, it's fine for 99% of the time the file is used.

That's the whole point of a certification process. Despite their best efforts, authors make mistakes so it makes sense [to me] to have some peer review.

I do think authentication is important to ensure that authors are happy for the LDraw organisation to share their work.
