Bethesda has launched the first Skyrim "fan interview" in which fans submit questions for Todd Howard and other Bethesda employees to answer. Questions can be submitted on the BethBlog, the "Elder Council" (Bethesda's Facebook page for the Elder Scrolls), or the official Bethesda forums. Questions will be answered "in a few weeks" but no specific date has been announced yet.
As an example for those wondering what type of questions get answered, you can read the fan interview from Oblivion.
"23. Is it still your intention (as mentioned by Pete at the E3) to release the next Elder Scrolls game also for this set of consoles? We know Conceptual Work for TES V began after Oblivion went gold, and we know that your team is bigger than it was during Morrowind and Oblivion's development. Do you expect TES V to take longer or shorter to develop? I wouldn't expect TESV any time soon, I can tell you that. We're very focused on Fallout 3 right now. "
Interesting, it does coincide with what he said with how the development of Skyrim began.
