If you go by sheer numbers I suppose, but we'll need about 10 more years
to catch up with 2e.  At what point does it become a full product worthy
of attention?

I'm interested in where you get this idea?  I know there is a vocal group
of 2e fans here, but the only statistic I could find was on the
compendium which said:

24%  I use SJ with 3rd Edition rules
38%  I own 3e DnD, but am waiting for SJ3e
4%   I will buy 3e DnD to use with SJ3e
23%  I will stick to 2e rules for my SJ game
11%  Spelljammer is not my primary setting

23% are sticking with 2e, 11% don't play Spelljammer.  That leaves 68%
that use, or are interested in 3e and some form of Spelljammer.

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

I think the problem is people are comparing the Seekers Council to groups
like the Whitestone Council at the Dragonlance Nexus who have been very
active, and are moving into 3e.  I know the compendium is the result of
user submissions, and lack of activity there is a result of a lack of _us_
submitting things.

Let me state here that I'm not advocating changing the official 3e
site/group at all, but I hope that this discussion sparks the interest in
SJ3e.  I'd hope a group might form to facilitate this.
