Here are my suggestions, humbly offered. I've had fun tweaking organization and tables in your project, but I don't mean to make myself officious or push the project in directions where you don't want it to go. I have a fair amount of free time, and sometimes the weight of multiple postings from one person can mess up a project like this - I don't mean to do that. So please take my multiple postings in the spirit in which they are intended, which is to be helpful.
If you guys want to keep following the outline I've set up in Table of Contents, the project is boiled down to specifics, now. If Hunter can create a topic within a topic, it would be good to create a single topic in which each of the "chapters" can be accessed by contributors. If that's not possible, it would probably be good to have a post at the top of each chapter topic which is edited (like my table of contents) as it is revised, so that people can see the finished project as it then stands. Right now, I can barely find the different tables in here, and I organized them!
If I were you, I'd assign editors to each "chapter," at least for purposes of milling ideas out of the COTI contributors.
Mainly (other than revisions to the structuring of the tables) the project is now a matter of (1) accumulating table entries for later editing, (2) preparing the writeups to precede and follow the tables, putting each one in perspective, (3) doing the two example starports if you decide to do that, with maps at the same time, (4) writing introduction and USFP description, (5) then layout.
I'll keep working on table entries and maintaining the TOC.
My two credits' worth.
