This doesn't seem to have sent properly, so I'm resending it.

To be honest, I haven't actually written any proper guidelines for the
discontinuity guides. Both me and Paul started writing them independently
based on the original book. The nearest I've got to guidelines is this page:
http://www.whoniverse.org/discontinuity/guide.php, which explains
more-or-less what is included, but aimed at people unfamiliar with the format
rather than those writing guides. The level of detail probably varies a fair
bit across the guides as well. I've become better at doing them, but then I
often catch myself writing stuff into another section of the site and
forgetting to put it into the discont guide, and me and Paul seem to be good
at spotting different things to each other.
As for what isn't covered:
SHORT STORIES
Half of Short Trips: Companions (though that's top of my to-do list and
should be done in the next couple of weeks at the latest), all Short Trips
collections after A Christmas Treasury. The charity anthologies, and spin-off
anthologies like the Benny ones (the exception being that there are guides to
all five Decalogs).
NEW ADVENTURES
St Anthony's Fire through to Sanctuary (though I think this is what Paul
Clarke is currently working on)
Sky Pirates! through to Death and Diplomacy
Godengine
Return of the Living Dad through to The Room with No Doors
EDAs
Alien Bodies through to The Fall of Yquatine (starting on these in order is
the next on my to-do list after finishing ST: Companions)
The Banquo Legacy
The Turing Test
PDAs
The Murder Game
The Ultimate Treasure
Business Unusual
The Roundheads
Eye of Heaven
The Witch Hunters
Catastrophea
Mission: Impractical
Zeta Major
Dreams of Empire
Last Man Running
Matrix
The Infinity Doctors
Salvation
The Wages of Sin
Deep Blue
Millennium Shock
Storm Harvest
The Final Sanction
Divided Loyalties
Tomb of Valdemar
Verdigris
everything after Match of the Day (though Paul's said he's working on those
too)
NEW SERIES
The Empty Child (but that will be done by November at the latest - which is
when I buy the new series boxed set)
There are guides to Who Killed Kennedy, Campaign, The Masters of Luxor, the
Missing Season books, the two original Companions novels, the K9 Picture
books, all of the Telos Who novellas, all the MAs, and all the New Series
novels.
Anything else you might care to name doesn't have a guide.
