Hmm... it seems to me that with this new compendium-adding feature
this project is all but dead.
Packets 4-5 have been added however and the new version of the library is
up.

No, there won't be. It's Wizards' intellectual property.

Wish I had known that before retyping all that stuff when I forgot to save before turning off my computer. Actually, I just wish I had saved before turning off the computer.
So does this mean the project is dead? Naturally, the adding feature doesn't really help those of us who don't have DDI subscriptions.

I have no idea if this is legal or not, but if it is I'd like to keep this going for those who can't afford DDI and still would like to use MasterPlan. I mean I guess I could just input from the MM, but that's a lot of time when we could all input from the MM and share with each other. I'd like someone from WotC to post something though so I know whether or not we're doing something wrong.

So is anyone still working on this project? Or can anyone know where I can get a complete MM library? or would anyone be willing to email it to me?
=) thanks in advance.
Edit: I do mean for Masterplan. I have the MM book. But I do not have a DDI subscription, and so far typing in each monster by hand is very tedious. >.<;

first off I'll mirror what everyone els said about legality. that said I think this is no more illegal than dandwiki or d20srd.org and too my knowledge wizards hasn't perused legal action on them. that said is the project only going to be monsters from the monster manual. I could start work on my copy of open grave if that is wanted.

This is probably just reviving an old thread (I came here through Google), but straight out copying of monster's out of the MM is probably going to be considered illegal. You're mentioning danddwiki and d20srd, but you forget the the wiki is for homebrew stuff (at least it seems to me to be for that) and that d20srd is specifically for material that Wizards declared open.
That said, it still sounds like an awesome project. Kudo's to Phyrixian and the ones helping out. Too bad that I've got a Mac and can't be bothered to run Virtual Machines at the moment.
