I am thinking about doing a conversion of Spelljammer for 5E and due tot he amount of work involved thought I would seek help. If anyone is interested in around 1-4 hours of work per week in converting the Spelljammer setting to 5E please put your hand up.
I do my D&D stuff on MS Word often by crerating templates of monsters/NPCs or whatever and then just copying and pasting them onto another document.
Obviously knowledge of Spelljammer would be an advantage and projects like this often seem to flounder due to people deciding to do whatever and then nothing ends up being done. This will be focused mostly on the 1989 Spelljammer boxed set for 2E. Note you never need to have actually played Spelljammer before just be enthusiastic and have access to Spelljammer material/PDFs.
Access to Star Wars Saga Edition could also be an advantage as some of the mechanics theres could perhaps be recycled into a 5E Spelljammer conversion. 3.5's Lord of Madness also had the Neogi, Illithids and Beholders in it.
I have done a litle bit of homebrew and this is just a rough idea of what I have got so far. The basic idea is the materials the ship is made out of translates to a saving throw bonus while the maneuverability rating of the shipives you a bonus or penalty to piloting rolls. Pilooting would be a new skill added to the game.

The oddly curved, graceful ships of the elves are grown and twisted into their shapes, much like bonsai trees. As a result, their plane of gravity is not linear; each ship is a large, delicately fluted vessel with a lot of potential firepower. The crystalline wings of the elven ship reach 300 feet from tip to tip, brushing the edge of its own atmospheric envelope.

Hi there. I'm currently running a spelljammer-based campaign and I'm really interested in collaborating on a conversion of this setting. With that said, I'm still a beginner on DMing and even more on producing homebrew content, but I have acess to the spelljammer material and would be glad to help in any way possible. Go Spelljammer!
the problem i had with spelljammer is how crystal spheres float around in a phlogestin goo, so you are sort of in space, but not really. You run into aliens, and space pirates, but not really. Is a crystal sphere a planet? a solar system? a universe? Turns out it can be any of these things. A crystal sphere is like a campaign setting in the prime material plane. But then if your spell jammer starts sailing out into the stars, do you end up in more of the same crystal sphere and other worlds? or do you end up in forgotten realms or grey hawk?
it probably would have worked better if Spell Jammer worked more like spaceships and each crystal sphere were a solar system. Instead, Spelljammer is more like a spaceship version of TORG where you go from one reality to the next. Each reality is a crystal sphere, and some are tiny. Some are island tortoises in an infinite sea. Some are giant disks, others are rings in a sea of stars surrounding other stars. Some have moons, and some have stars that are nothing more than pinpricks in a giant cloth sky.
It makes it a bit confusing because when you go from one crystal sphere to the next, the scale of gods and levels and so on can be abstractly different to the point of unplayable. Like if you have a spell that blots out the sun, in a crystal sphere with a billion stars, thats like, nothing. But in a crystal sphere with only one sun, that's like the end of the universe. In a crystal sphere where Gaia is the planet, if you kill that Titan, the planet is destroyed. If that's the only planet in the crystal sphere, what happens? The Celestial: Mortal scales for combat, high level spell interaction, and distances are all haywire. Like Teleport, is it to the nearest planet, or the nearest crystal sphere?
So many confusing things. I'm sorry.

I sadly can't help, but I can wish you well wishes and perhaps help with a starting point-ish. There's a website that had done a lot of work for 3/3.5e conversion that might be a jumping off point for you:

I would be willing to help, since at some point I'd also like to DM a Spelljamming campaign. I have all the Spelljammer products published in the TSR era.
But what kind of help do you actually need? Are you going to use the "fluff" as it is? Or get inspiration from Shadow of the Spider Moon?
If you keep the fluff as it is, I guess all that needs converting are just the monsters? Maybe some PC races?
Are you leaving ship-to-ship combat as it is?
I've thought about doing a Spelljammer conversion, but I'd change a few things.
On constant galaxy, no crystal spheres.
There is atomosphere everywhere.
The "gravity plane" of a ship is just below it so there's no weird switching gravity depending on where you are flying or what ships pass by.

Once I started seeing some confusion about Spelljammer cosmology I skipped the rest and felt the need to post.
First of all, the cosmology is really simple once understood. I mean, really, really simple.
1) A crystal sphere is a giant opaque shell.
2) Each crystal sphere surrounds a solar system.
3) Outside of the crystal spheres is an unusual area of space called the Phlogiston.
That's basically it. There are some variations, for instance it doesn't have to be a "solar system" per se, though that's the standard. But as a general rule, what I listed above is all you have to visualize 99% of the time.

A RADIANT DRAGON'S LAIR
The radiant dragons are normally solitary and very territorial about their "turf", which can include up to the space surrounding a planet or moon. When they are found in numbers, they are usually a family group, and make their lair in an asteroid hollowed out by the parents. Some hollow asteroids that are used by certain human civilizations were created by these dragons.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:
* A tremor shakes the lair in a 60-foot radius around the dragon. Each creature other than the dragon on the ground in that area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
* Force pulses appear out of nowhere, striking three creatures that the dragon can see within 120 feet. The dragon makes one ranged attack roll (+7 to hit) against each target. On a hit, the target takes 10 (3d6) force damage.
* The dragon destroys all air in a 60 ft radius around it. Each creature other than the dragon in that area must suceed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or begin to suffocate. The air returns after 1 minute.
Regional Effects
The region containing a legendary radiant dragon's lair is warped by the dragon's magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
* Crystal formations within 6 miles of the dragon's lair shine with a inner radiant light.
* Within it lair, the dragon can create semi-permanent walls of force to act as doors, barriers, or walls. Even though they're made of transparent force, they have the same resistance as ice.
* If present at all, the air within 6 miles of the dragon'l lair is thinner. Once per day, if a creatures aquires a level of fatigue, its condition is worsened by one level.
If the dragon dies, these effects disappear over the course of 1d10 days.
