| Jun 25, 2012 at 19:50 | comment | added | Leonid Shifrin | @Szabolcs One more thing, which may not be clear from my post: I'd like to use this opportunity to say that I do appreciate your effort very much (and surely I am not alone), getting this blog is a great achievement! | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 19:17 | comment | added | Leonid Shifrin | @Szabolcs "Perhaps simply reading a blog on a faster schedule will motivate people more" - this is what, among other things, I meant by community rhythms. | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 19:16 | comment | added | Szabolcs | Perhaps simply reading a blog on a faster schedule will motivate people more and it'll help sustain itself. It's too easy to forget about it after a month. | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 19:15 | comment | added | Leonid Shifrin | @Szabolcs Yes, sure, I understand the logic behind your proposed schedule. I think we can start slower, so that there is no pressure. All I am saying is that one-month break seems unrealistic in the long term, assuming current community trends. And I look not just at the number of currently proposed posts, but generally at the amount of daily activity of our community, etc. | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 19:14 | comment | added | Szabolcs | The important thing is though: let the number of incoming posts dictate the frequency and not vice versa (i.e. publish because we have posts, and not ask people to write more because we have a schedule). I think I should update the question to clarify this. Yes, I agree with you that 2/month or even 4/month is preferable if it turns out to be sustainable in practice. | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 19:13 | comment | added | Szabolcs | Of course I'd like to see a faster schedule too, but we don't have any finished posts yet, and what I heard in the SE blog chatroom is that volunteers evaporate quickly... When proposing one month, I simply wanted to make sure that we don't aim too high and we won't run out of posts after the initial excitement. Ultimately it should be the number of incoming posts that should decide the frequency, and I'd be happy to speed up things to even 1/week if it's sustainable. | |
