My 2c...
I really have no desire to see it change much. The concept as it is is pure and a true representation of images from IIS. It is a high quality production and something everyone can be proud of.
As for adding observation reports... mmm... I have mixed feelings about it. I can see a different book with observation reports and perhaps images selected or taken specially to enhance the report, but I don't think the mix of observing reports and the compendium in it's current form is likely to be as successful. I'd love to see the obs reports compendium as a separate project... it has a different audience really... while we would all appreciate it, non-astronomers would flick through the pretty pictures but likely to pass over detailed obs reports.
As for ephemera, again I think this is a different "market" and deserves a different document.
As for different categories and a competition, nothing will turn me off it quicker.
Al.
