This list will be constantly updated.
At least that is the idea. So far, I simply ported the old Publishers page from the wiki site, to make it easier to find on the new one.
The idea is that all members contribute with updated info, like fecundity just did regarding Steve Jackson, and one of the admins will update the main post accordingly.
