Did anyone compile a wiki page of what the routes to these are from Werewolf?
BTW, I understand one route is through "syndrome". While 'Lycanthropy' is a syndrome/condition, 'Werewolf' is not.

Half the fun is in guessing and investigating what the links are. Now that we're taking suggestions in the open public a lot of that fun is killed :/

I have them all logged. They're also available in the list archives...
Quite a few of them took the lame way and said "Mythical Creature!"

Ok, yes, in the old days it was all about surprises and deciphering hidden messages in the bottle.
But now here we are in the bright and shiny future, and I'd love to make a reasonable vote based on the intended back story/connection without a ton of research and de-confounding.
Would it make sense now to compile the various back stories in one location? I guess if you've got them logged I can do the wiki scut work. I don't relish parsing the archives since I've done that for previous votes and I am resisting the time sink.
Thanks - Karsten

Google and/or Wikipedia are your friends.

Time unfortunately is not.
Since all this work has been done already by the community, why should each of us repeat the work? IIRC, there are >1000 potential voters. I'm presuming you can do the math yourself. If not, gnome-calculator is your friend. ;-)
OTOH, we could take thrice the time to argue about whether I should repeat that work or not ...

Is campaigning for a name legal?

I don't know. It probably depends on how the Campaign For the Chupacabra Of the Future gets its funding.
Well mostly sucking the blood from our victims^Wvoters like any other political party.
Actually I was going for Asperger because it would bring attention to a syndrome that affects some people I know.

As a sufferer myself, let me extend a heartfelt "Thanks, but I'm good."

Simo.
I heard there were other projects named that, apparently.
Which is too bad, so you should all vote for Dragicorn instead :)

It was pruned by legal. As were many other names.

And they did not prune Asperger and Tourette? Not sure that's the kind of image we want to project.

Their concern is merely the legality, they are not taste judges. I personally suffer from Tourette's but the main issue I could see out be reviewers taking the piss out of the name instead of actually reviewing Fedora.

Fully agree. If anything, I'd want to move *away* from an Asperger-syndrome image...
BTW, I understand one route is through "syndrome". While 'Lycanthropy' is a syndrome/condition, 'Werewolf' is not.
Maybe you are talking about Marfan here?
If so, I propose another meaning for this candidate: one of the under 2,000 person who lives in Marfa, TX!!! Home to the Marfa lights and to an an eclectic collection of modern art (Donald Judd, and Warhol's Last supper paintings), close to the Mexico border (in case you need to make a run for it), on the high plains of the desert, and home to excellent thermals for ultra-light gliding.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfa
Full disclosure, I'm a temporary Marfan and I voted for it. As a bonus, it's close enough to "martian" that most people will look askance when the name is uttered.
