This is, to put it bluntly, wrong.  The purpose of the official sites, as I
understand them, is to promote and continue the setting based upon the canon
works after official materials are no longer being published.  While the
original requirement was that all materials would have to be in the D20
format, WotC dropped it (AFAIK).  To the ends of their actual purpose, that
means that whether a submission is made in D20 format or in the original 2nd
Edition AD&D format is not relevant to whether or not it gets put on the
site.  If you want to submit proposals based on the D20 system, go right
ahead.  They will be reviewed under the guidelines available on Compendium.
But be prepared.   Giff Paladin/Druid/Sorceror/Rogues will probably be
rejected on the basis of the class availability tables in the Complete
Spacefarer's Handbook--which, as Spelljammer canon, takes precedence over the
munchkinisms of the "3e" rules.
