I'll start gathering the information on mechanical dragons as soon as I can. Perhaps we should have some clarification on the format of the poll first; I assume we'll post a summary of the relevant information, with all the main points in favor of each side. Should we then formulate just two choices for the poll (i.e. 'yes mech. dragons' or 'no mech. dragons')? Or should there be more choices, like: keep them completely, eliminate them completely, change them to real dragons but keep the distinctions between the various types, etc.?

Regarding elfling: I've sent our list of possible name changes twice, but I've had no responses. It's been overlooked, I imagine, in the torrent of newbies in the wake of the movie. Lindil, if you know some people knowledgeable in Elvish linguistics, perhaps you should send it to them. I'll wait until things have died down a bit on elfling and resubmit it, but who knows how long that'll be. . .
