[Dungeon World][Compendium] Is there a way to to crowd source monsters created by other DM's to access in Dungeon World Campaigns?

What's the proper path to add or suggest content for the Dungeon World Compendium to have available as community NPCs or Monsters? The monsters in the SRD are nice but it just feels incomplete. This shows in sites like <a href="http://codex.dungeon-world.com/" rel="nofollow">http://codex.dungeon-world.com/</a> where there is a wealth of custom make monsters and NPCs. I'd like to find or have a path where I could submit content or have content that I create put back into the community for other Dungeon World DM's to use in their campaigns. An example is that there is no generic "Wolf" like creature that I could create a token from. So I'll create this content myself but I'd like to submit my results back to the community for others to use. The same can be said for all manner of creatures that aren't in the SRD that the community could crowd source to build.

Hi N0manarym, Thanks for your thoughts. The ability to craft your own personal compendiums that you can take across games is something we're interested in but not discussing at this time. As for sharing such compendiums filled with unofficial content that may not represent the publisher in ways they approve of - that starts to push into licensing / legal issues - but I'm interested in hearing players desires in order to help craft our future conversations on this topic :) TL:DR &nbsp;- noted!

I think the biggest thing people want from compendiums is the ability to have personal compendiums usable only for their own campaigns, where you can add your own data, and it isn't shareable with any other user.
G G, I'd disagree with that statement. I'm already finding resources outside of Roll20 that are essentially doing the same thing as what I originally suggested, however I'm just importing it into Roll20. I see what @Dean is saying and I can understand his concern. A counter point would be that original content should be allowed to be backed by user created content. As the game evolves and it becomes more than just a book, many DM's feel more comfortable creating content that exists within the very loose boundaries setup. In many cases DM's will just create their own, more power to them. If a DM had access to community created and supported (Up vote/down vote/likes/whatever) content that provided a way to build an amazing adventure faster and more efficiently, they'd jump at the chance. Thanks both for the feedback, I'll continue to generate and import content for my adventure. In the end though I'd like to share my creations with others for both advise, support, and to see them grow in other worlds created.
