The bad news is that I'll be even less useful than with the preceding updates, in that I am so much behind my (RL) work that I probably won't even find the time to review the remaining quest claims in detail. Someone else would have to do that. I'll still be able to merge them.
I think the current idea is to release the updated SE 1.6, the alpha of maps 3+4+5 minus Alma, and a recruitment post for modellers and NPCers simultaneously, so as to avoid one of these overshadowing the others.
TO-DO LIST FOR THIS RELEASE

THE RECRUITMENT POST
We need to make it and the best time to do so is while releasing an update. I'd say the most important place for it should be [url=http://www.fliggerty.com/phpBB3/index.php]the Fliggerty forums[/url] (best audience ever), the TR forums (duh) and then probably the officials (lots of modders but too many kiddies). I'm not sure if the Nexus is any good. Other than that, of course concept artists can be anywhere, but will they want to make art for Morrowind? I don't know.
Fuck. I'm out of time and ideas to write even a rapid prototype of the post we need. Here is rot's list of stuff we're looking for on the modelling front:

- a few specific examples of what TR currently has:

There is a list in this thread's OP, but it needs to be updated and organised for this purpose (what already has functional concepts, what would need them very soon...)
