LEGO CUUSOO

First off, I don't think I have the best stuff on Cuusoo, as the image might imply, I am just using them because I have access as their creator. I am using SpacySmoke's Ambulance picture with permission. Now, on with the project:

Anyone who has been on Cuusoo for any length of time knows that the journey to 10,000 supporters is a long one. It is also no secret that the majority of the projects that do make it have the backing of a galvanized electorate, usually surrounding one or more high profile individuals or include a wildly popular IP.

The majority of projects have an initial burst of support when they are fresh on the scene, then pick up a few more supports over the next week, stagnate to a slow trickle, then come to a nearly full stop, plateauing at some middle ground where they fall out of site and stagnate.

Such a sad fate should not befall such worth projects as Ambulance (Type 3 / Type III) http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/17901

I propose a rectification of this issue by creating a method for which Lego crafters can be rewarded for excellent designs prior to the stratospheric heights of 10,000 and also allowing Lego to showcase the kind of builds that it approves of.

I submit that Cuusoo could publish an eBook of instructions for building the projects that it finds merit the attention though lack supporters. The showcased creators would enjoy the accolades of being chosen, the publicity of publication, and receive a small royalty for their work.

I propose that this be an ebook to keep publishing costs down. I imagine that this project publication could be generated quarterly. The worthy projects would be chosen by the Review Board when they meet to discuss the projects that have received 10,000 supports. Then over the next few months the instructions would be created, and any IP issues addressed resulting in publication in the following quarter.
