You're absolutly right. In my opinion a key for success of 1.) is to NOT promote individual scenery projects on the official FlightGear places. So i suggest to remove all urls that do link to such individual scenery projects from the FlightGear website, the wiki and even postings on the flightgear forum. Especially the latter might be very important. If we make sure by force that individuals can't promote their own scenery project on the forum or any other official place on FlightGear they will have no laudation on their individual scenery projects. This will nip individual scenery projects in the bud and will hopefully lead to the way that such persons will freely submit their work to the common World Scenery. So 1.) can be ensured by force. Removing the urls is the key for that. Forum moderators are able to do that. As long as individual scenery projects can be promoted and guarantee that way that such individuals will get attention for their one man show 2.) will stay attractive. The key is to make 2.) unattractive by removing the promoting links to those individual projects.
