I know this has been discussed before, by everyone from us to Mike Mearls, but given the situation concerning the 4E "OGL", I think it is finally time to actually do something. While I don't have the right skillset to build a wiki or whatever, or the legal knowledge to make sure the content to be archived is free of PI, I do have the capability to distill mechanics into easily readable formats, as well as expound and edit where necessary (former game writer here).
I think EN World might be a place to archive this information, assuming EN World remains friendly to those that are not moving on to 4E. There are of course other alternatives should this site not end up being the right place.
Is anyone else interested in such a project, and if so, what can you contribute. Luckily, I think a lot of d20 material will soon be getting very cheap so collecting the necessary books to translate the information should be relatively cheap. Someone with more organizational skills than I could probably suggest a basic structure for the project and ways to avoid redundant work.
Publishers: who among you would like to see your d20 material archived? Would you be willing to contribute? I understand the hesitency when this was suggested a long time ago, when d20 material was still valid. But now, it seems like a waste to let this stuff disappear into the ether.
