I agree with you completely. I'm new to EasyEDA, but I was planning on contributing some component symbols and footprints before I do anything else. I want to be able to get feedback from the people/users so I can always improve my work.

@GreatLakesConcepts, When you create a new part or clone an existing one, please enter all the relevant information about the manufacturer and supplier names and part numbers and a brief description (hint: copy the description from the datasheet or the supplier page). If you need to you can add more parameters (attributes) and tick the in BoM information box to get the info to appear in the BoM output. The "key" is the title of the column in the BoM while the "value" is the info that you want to include, for example key=Manufacturer, value=OnSemi. Please also add a link to either a manufacturer's or a supplier's device page and/or datasheet. Where possible, please use a reputable supplier (RS, Farnell, Element14 , Digikey, Mouser, LCSC) because places like eBay and Amazon etc., can be inconsistent and may not include high quality datasheets. Once you have saved your new part, please enter the name into - and then do - Shift-F search and then select the part and right click on it and select "Modify". In the Description section please again add a brief description (hint: copy the description from the datasheet or the supplier page) **and** a link to a manufacturer's or a supplier's device page **and** datasheet.

@andyfierman I agree, it is important to include all that information. However, for any system or method to function correctly, it has to cater for occasional errors. So, what I do not see at present is a method to flag any mistakes found within User-Contributed components and then possibly have a visible method to show that these mistakes have been resolved (a bit like GitHub, I suppose) or at least have a method to get these components removed and replaced with an error-free one. This is a particular problem with PCB footprints. For example, there are now 536 User-Contributed versions of a SOT-23. I also note that under LCSC & System library components some components have a little tick associated with them to say that they've been vetted etc. What I would like to see is a similar approach being applied somehow to User-Contributed components, which allows other users to say that they have used such a component and it works etc.

@gerriko.iot, My reply was to help @GreatLakesConcepts understand how to contribute a high quality footprint. I totally agree that there needs to be some way to vet or rate user contributed symbols and footprints. There is now a **Report Error...** menu option for LCSC and System (but not User Contributed) symbols and footprints but there needs to be something similar to allow user contributed parts to be notified to their contributors or to rate them.   Suppose they are up or down voted on a scale of say 1 star to 5 star, so that the up voted parts float to the top of the list (or can be sorted on their star ratings) and any parts down voted by more than some percentage - like say if 63% or more of their ratings are only 1 star - then they are removed from the library (or removed from the list if not actually deleted)?
