Shall we just give access to those who ask for now? I'd still rather
bugs/spells
fixed/added to the regular grimoires before games/z-rejected, but that's just
me. ;) We all need to play now and then, too.

I'd say renaming to lower case (for all grimoires and sections) is higher
priority than converting to build api 2, since renames take at least one month
(or did we decide on two?) before the old name can be removed. I'd like all
spells to be lower-cased with their old names removed before 1.0 hits the
proverbial shelves. ;)

> - Switch spells to build api 2

This is usually easier than renaming, so if some don't feel up to renaming
they
can take this on.
