[Equest-users] INP PD2 Library

[Arpan Bakshi]

Functioning much like the Wikipedia principle, "articles start as stubs, but
after many contributions, they can become featured articles. Once the
contributor has decided a topic of interest, they may want to request that
the article be written (or they could research the issue and write it
themselves)."

A beginner may upload an eQUEST model, and as it is reviewed and comments
are made, the model is continually refined through replacement by consensus
and more advanced modelers. Possibly even a suffix to indicate iteration,
i.e. SYSTEM-TYPE_BLDG-USE_v12.pd2
