Thanks for the feedback both, just a few points on what's been said as I think some of what I suggested may have been misunderstood:

The build team would choose the options to be voted on under what I've proposed - the whole point of the idea was the designers/foremen/artists retain control over what the active projects are likely to be, as there needs to be someone who wants to lead it in the first place.

Voting is then simply a way to ensure the wider community does feel more involved, but does also prevent too many projects becoming active at the same time and overworking people. I understand that the build team have worked hard to get where they are, but as Drao said in my last suggestion: commoners are relied on as workforce to build projects. So voting on options you guys come up with is a compromise between you retaining control + having motivated project leads, and motivating your workforce. It also gives you some indication of how likely you are to get help on a particular project area, as you're quite correct: some are far less interesting than others.

Therefore there shouldn't be any reason for lack of passion with what I've proposed, as the build team would be still be choosing and proposing the options that are voted on in the first place. Nor does this stop the build team doing planning for other things behind the scenes for future proposals as I recognise projects go through a lot of stages before getting to actual building on the main map. By "planning is started" I meant mainworld planning, as presumably to be voted on the person wanting to lead the project would already have done the necessary lore research and concept creation.

I'm not criticising the range of projects going on at the moment at all, as I agree: there are a good range of different things to do and I currently don't think anything needs adding to this. There's the perception the build team are stretched quite enough at the moment with all the projects listed, and the things going on behind the scenes, so I think adding more projects currently would be inadvisable.

This suggestion is more meant this as something for the future once some of these active areas become finished, as I'm sure other people on the build team have ideas on what they'd like to do in the future. This merely adds an extra element to how things currently work. There will of course be areas in which no one wants to work, which this proposal would be unsuitable for, which would need to be handled differently.

Mapthor does raise an important point: Gondor has hoarded a lot of the attention with revamps or projects. This was obviously necessary due to previous resource pack capabilities limiting where could be worked on with a good standard/outcome. In my view RP H now negates this argument.
I obviously don't know what plans are going on behind the scenes, which makes actually suggesting potential ideas difficult but I certainly don't think the other options are limited to Erebor, Lake Town or Gondor revamps. RP H gives far wider scope of choice, whether that be something new such as Dunland, the Upper Anduin, or revamps elsewhere such as the Shire, Tharbad etc. Given Lond Daer is active, something nearby would be a sensible proposal for something after that has finished. It would very much depend on whether people desire something new, or a revamp.
