This list is slightly wrong. The Ekajati tantra (misdescribrd above as yogini) is not part of the 17. So the ontroduction tantra is missing from this list.
Not the Mirror Heart of Vajrasattva?

I read 21 intros there. Those are nice and clear. So, then let’s say there’s this sort of short cut of the 21 Yangti dharma here. very cool deal.
The tantra I am referrring to is called ngo sprod rin po che spras pa shing khams bstan pa’i rgyud in Tibetan, and The Tantra Which Shows the Buddhafield of Preciously Adorned Introductions. It is the basis for all the intimate instructions of the 21 introduction which are found in most extensive terma cycles belonging to Dzogchen Nyinthig.

I am not sure if Wilkinson translated it yet, but it will be forthcoming in my volume of those of the 17 tantras which lack commentaries (so eight tantras, as the Self-Originated Perfection Tantra is mainly devoted to ancillary rituals and empowerment, and I have already published the rang shar and the rang grol).
Wilkinsen has it. Secret Kissing....

This Ekajati tantra. Is ChNN’s invocation matchy with this?

ChNN's invocation is his own terma. The khros ma nag mo rgyud should never be translated and made public.

...made public. It does not have any Dzogchen in it, it is completely apotropaic in content.

I’m thinking apotropeia of Ekajati isn’t just there for window dressing.

I see a list on this site of Lamas who were in favor of an open source Buddhist library. Are/where they aware of what was being uploaded?

I see that ChNN is listed, but did he want restricted texts (that are copyrighted and sold to benefit the DC) uploaded?
I also see some of Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche's books, some of which are restricted, all of which are copyrighted and for sale, and I don't see his name on the list of teachers supporting the project at all.
Do Wisdom Publications, Rangjung Yeshe and Shang Shung Edizioni all endorse this project?
