Thanks for the link. Here are some comments:

*Inaccessable from main 3e page*

As I already said, it would be nice if the world "Spells" in the Players 
Guide on the main Spelljammer for D&D 3rd Edition page pointed here.

*Conversion notes*

The Electronic SKU Download (ESD) Conversion Agreement notes are missing 
from this page. By the way: I believe that if you change the name of a
spell, you need to mention the *old* name in the conversion notes (Shattered 
Fractine doesn't do this for altered spell names). I also think that the 
original SJ product names should be mentioned in the section 15 bit. I'd 
probably do the Section 15 like this:

*Old and new mixed*

A lot of these spells are adaptations rather than conversions. There are 
also new spells. It might be nice to have some sort of footnotes to show 
what is what. Alternatively a master spells page could link to (character 
class based) spell lists and an alphabetical list of all spells. Individual 
spells could then be linked to from all these lists and could be put on 
their own pages.

*Some spells have issues*

I'll do the Dreamer thing and address them individually.
