I get the impression you and I are interpreting the original post in
completely different ways. What I believe the idea was is to take
Shadowbeat (or whatever), update it for use with third edition rules,
stick in a layout, and hand it to FASA in a form that could be printed
(almost) right away.

Your interpretation seems to be that some group (similar to NERPS) would
actually _write_ the whole book and then let FASA print it, am I right?

The former is much easier, and doesn't need a group -- just someone with
time to spare and knowledge of both SR and how to use a good layout
program (no, MS Word doesn't count :)
