First off, congratulations & Qapla'a' to any and all involved!
Secondly, I have a dream - that one day we shall be able to contribute to an
appropriately juried "TKD, 3rd ed." ourselves. ...that no longer will we have
to fret over how to glomm words together to make up something close to the
meaning of the word we want, but can find in TKD. ...that we will be able
to find the proper word for "Vampire", instead of trying to express it as
"blood sucker" (vampire? mosquito? leech?). ...that lu' and vay will be
described fully and to everyone's hearts content.
I think this would be a worthy first direction to explore, now that we
have some sort of official status. It would have to be carefully done to
avoid anarchy. I'd love to see it happen. Does this seem realistic?
