No poll needed. We need editors willing to take the time to put it all in a sticky. The IS-F sticky with all this kind of info has been in work for a long time, but never really finished. We are all volunteers, so it just hasn't been the #1 priority. What we need is someone to do the hard part - identify the threads to be included with a short description of each one so we can link to the description. Look at the 2IS sticky to understand what it would look like.
