One of the things I've done is group them according to which ones are similarly drawn. I strongly suggest this be taken into consideration when building lists.
I realize it can be a slow, steady community project, but then everyone is out there re-locating the manuscripts and drawings that I've spent a decade finding, studying, and cataloging. MarcoP has also done a great deal of work in locating and evaluating plant drawings—I can see that from his posts on the forums.
So, we're kind of between a rock and a hard place... if we don't contribute our research, there's enormous replication of effort. If we do, it's very time-consuming for us to provide it in a form that's useful in someone else's format, and it's a lot to give up after laboring over it for years. I don't know where a sensible compromise lies. I don't know how Marco feels about this either.
