If you haven't noticed, 3rd edition barely is a product. The majority of
subscribers won't be switching. However, we have all voted for the official
Spelljammer fan site (on the authority of being the official setting list),
and we chose Static's site. Compendium was thrown together to fit the
requirements for an official site, and remains mainly empty due to lack of
enthusiasm on the part of the fans.

Since you lot seem to be willing to do the work, howsabout submitting the
work you've done to the Council for consideration as 3e canon?

You know, as opposed to trying to usurp Static's power?
