The sc2 file specifications are largely complete. Sprite parsing is complete. The text data is useful enough to generate any complete newspaper stories, while the rest of the text format is simple and captured in the documents.

The simulation spec is a start at cataloguing all of the information about the internals of the game.

I'd like to help:

Great! Open a Pull Request with a correction or additional information. If it's spelling or otherwise simple, it should be merged right away.

For things more complex, please add supporting evidence, such as screenshots from the game, discussion of testing methodology, etc. Basically, enough that someone else can reproduce the results. Be wary of the manuals and other information floating around online, they're not always right on how the game actually works internally.

Opening an issue is also a good place to get started, and allows discussion while figuring whatever out.
