I have a somewhat unique perspective in all of this. Since I arrived later than the rest, I ran into the role expecting very little, and so far I have not been disappointed!
My philosophy on all of this is that we (in this case, the EA Tau community) are charged with coming up with a viable list for the game. We can post work in progress and send lists to SG, but in the end it is our job and our job alone. Jervis is there when we have questions, but not always quickly. He may set a deadline, or answer an occassional question.
As for getting a vault list sorted out. All that I can do is document the changes and development, and throw it at SG. I will also host it here.
I think that if we get used to the idea that we are alone in this (whether this is a good or bad thing) then the issue become easier. I think that Maksim had a more difficult time than most as he was restricted on historical issues, such as bringing back the Trygon (which he was instructed that he could not do).
