Perhaps it would be best to upload any updates and new models to the OMR database before creating too many more sets?

I think there is a known need for the OMR to be given some love, but it is currently admin-heavy and there are other priorities. As it is, there is no way for users to submit new files and updates to existing ones; it all has to be done manually. (I also believe, though I could be mistaken, that there is a standing vacancy for anyone wishing to take over administration of the OMR…)

But it never hurts to discuss improvements. I've wondered before whether it's a good idea to post our own versions of sets that already appear in the OMR (noting that not every model in this forum needs to even be an OMR candidate). If so, should those be limited to improvements on existing sets, or can different authors post their own work so that users can compare methods, for example? (I'm not sure how much anyone actually studies this kind of thing…)

Quote:Also, would it make sense to have a post with an index at the beginning of each thread, or somewhere else in the official models forum in which one can see what is finished, and what still needs to be completed? Perhaps one could export this list/table from the OMR database as this has an entry for missing parts, stickers etc..?

At the same time, should there be any guideline as to the required completeness of a model that's submitted? On the one hand, I know that Takeshi and others have done a huge amount of work updating models with new patterns and stickers that have needed to be authored before some models can be complete. On the other hand, flexible parts continue to be a major holdup to completeness for many sets, and those do already exist. (They're just tricky and annoying to create, and require having the proper tools—but then, so does part authoring.) ;-)
