All of items requested and listed by you is available on the forums, because forums are intergral part of the Discovery - if they like it or not. This is where (that is, forums) all major decisions take place, both inRP and ooRP ones.
As for book items in cargo holds, it would be pretty bothersome, since rules change all the time, even if these are tweaks (we have problem even with our own Wikia, because it is the best to ask something on the forum). All in all, DiscoveryGC.com is the main source of roleplay and rules, because it's not a big issue to correct some letters inside the post - the other thing is correcting errors in the infocards.
The finest example of the forum over in-game infocards is the fact that Nagano is still listed in game as Tau BW, while actually it's the Kusari. Without that knowledge (from the forums), you are pretty likely to be sanctioned as a Bretonian Privateer for piracy in Nagano. Infocards and rep sheets are outdated sometimes, but that's the other thing.
