There has been some talk about whether a Living Eberron campaign would be interesting to have and play in, similar to the Living Enworld and Living Supers model. To gauge whether there would be enough interest for such a game, I've started this poll. Note that this poll does not indicate that Living Eberron will ever happen.
Here's a short FAQ/Overview that should help with the poll.
What is a Living Campaign, anyway?
A Living Campaign, in the Enworld sense, is a persistent world, shared by multiple parties, GMs and judges, playing out multiple adventures. In such a shared world, even if the GM vanishes, your characters are not lost to limbo. They can return to whatever base there might be, or continue in the adventure under a new GM.
What material would be available?
From the start, for players likely only the core rules and the Eberron CS, but the judges will likely approve additional Eberron books quickly. Non-Eberron books are unlikely to be approved, though. Also, some material from the books may be off-limits.
DMs will have a broader variety of things to work with, as long as it stays in their adventures.
What organization matters are there that need to be fulfilled?
What would the canon be?
Most likely the canon from the ECS, and that from other books and sources that does not contradict it or other canon we establisged for our campaign. In all likelyhood, events from novels will be ignored. This is supposed to be our world to play in, after all.
I would play, GM AND help with the organization.
Then vote for all three. This is a multiple choice poll.
I can't vote, because I wouldn't be interested!
Since this poll is meant to gauge how many people would be interested in playing, GMing, or otherwise help, I left off the option to vote for "not interested" or "if it were not Eberron." If you aren't interested, don't vote.

What organization matters are there that need to be fulfilled?
- Approval of characters (while for the start, one judge might be enough, two judges works better)
- Approval of adventures (mostly to make sure they fit the world)
- Approval of proposals (which might add flavor, detail, or mechanics to the world)
- Monitoring of adventures (to help the GM and approve awards, mostly; sometimes a judge might take over an orphaned adventure if he has enough information to do so; at other times, he might bring an orphaned adventure to a somewhat graceful end so that the characters can easier leave)
- Coordination of other threads that need coordination
- Discussion of campaign-related stuff (judge changes, storylines, etc)
