We introduced the ability for you to add new specs this year, with the goal of making it easier to add your boots and shoes to Patina Project. However, our current system for reviewing new specs has been unable to keep up—over 1000 new specs have been added since the start of Thunderdome 3! There are necessary upgrades to be made to our specs system, with the following goals in mind:
  1. Maintain today's expectation of quality and accuracy of specs in Patina Project, to provide the best experience for exploring boots & shoes.
  2. Give us the ability to review new specs in a timely manner.
  3. Provide a technical foundation for future improvements, such as new "high-level" search filters such as color, tannery, and style.
