[Rivet] Opal quark/gluon jet Shapes

Hi all,

We were wondering if there is a plan to include the OPAL quark/gluon jet
shape measurements [OPAL ZPC 68 (1995),179 or HepData,
http://hepdata.cedar.ac.uk/View/3164284] in a future Rivet release. As
Peter said below, the measurement is highly interesting on it's own, to
check different Monte Carlo models. But it is also great as a LEP pendant
to hadron collider jet shape measurements. So it would be really great if
we could have the OPAL measurements on mcplots, for which we would need
the analysis in Rivet.

Is there any strong reason (apart from manpower, I guess) why the
measurement is not in Rivet?

Cheers,
Stefan
