I think we do need (brief - maybe a rule that it should be kept to three or four lines max per book, and less if at all possible?) synopses of the books, though, because especially later on, so many books run concurrently. Those of us who know the series can throw around phrases like \\\"In \\\'\\\'A Rising Thunder\\\'\\\' this happens...\\\" and know exactly when/where in the series we are, but a novice is going to be going, \\\"Wait, what happens in \\\'\\\'A Rising Thunder\\\'\\\' exactly, and where in the timeline is it?\\\" If we have synopses of the novels on hand, they can look at the main page and go, \\\"Oh, that\\\'s when/where this stuff happens!\\\" and the example will have more context. It\\\'s not like we\\\'re even putting up full back-cover blurbs - just a \\\'\\\'very\\\'\\\' rough, one- to three-sentence description.
And now that I think about it, splitting the novel synopses off to their own page would encourage people to make the descriptions longer. Okay, yeah, \\\'\\\'that\\\'\\\' is a bad plan. Consider me talked out of it.

As for the characters - perhaps Manticore/Grayson on one page (perhaps with treecats), Haven on another, and then everybody else? Giving each individual star nation/faction its own page has its appeal, but that is a \\\'\\\'lot\\\'\\\' of subpages.
Or we could do Manticore/Grayson/Haven (so really The Big Three), Manticoran allies (Talbott/Torch/Treecats/Historical/Andermani if they ever get added), and then the other side (Mesa/Solarian/Alignment) faction.
The other possibility is The Grand Alliance (Manticore/Grayson/Haven/Talbott/Treecats) on one page and everyone else on the other, but that\\\'s gonna be a pretty uneven split loaded in favor of the Alliance.
