I have some new additions of my own and will update this when they are done later this week and also reflect any new changes, also in the drum section the Salamander drumkit is missing which I will also add to the contents file..
Although the salamander piano is excellent, the drumkit is rather weak imo. It would probably be best to delete that, since you already have better drums on the site. You're going to need space since I may have some bigs ones coming.
Also, strings.zip is obsolete, and should be deleted.

Hmmm,
Well I'll keep 'ole Sally for now, I personally haven't used it much but I do know a lot of people still think it is the definitive Open Source/Free drumkit and really like the Round Robin samples, Zthmusic uses it exclusively and it sounds pretty good in his productions (https://soundcloud.com/zthmusic). On the other hand it is quite large but don't worry we'll have room for whatever goodies you have in store for us...
