tell me what I don't know

Seriously. I'm trying to put together a bunch of information for a kind of skydiving reference page. I'm a newbie and I've found searching for the information I'm looking for to be a bit frustrating. I'm trying to be as complete as possible, so any info will help. Here's what I'm looking for right now. What are the different disciplines. So far I've got freeflying, canopy RW, and formation RW. Also, I'd like to compile a list of all of the different jump planes, their capacity, rate of climb, average jump altitude, and if they are usually used for a specific type of jump. Thanks for anything and everything. If you'd like to contribute, drop me a line.

Professional photography/videography is another.. I'm not sure if you would consider instruction a discipline(AFF, Tandem, etc) - but those guys work their asses off in the air..
