A yearly anthology would be pretty good, though. HN is reusing others' content and can afford a faster tempo; but that simply means we need to be slower. Monthly is too fast, I suspect that quarterly may be a little too fast unless we lower our standards to include probably wrong but still interesting essays. (I think of "Is cryonics necessary?: Writing yourself into the future" as an example of something I'm sure is wrong, but was still interesting to read.)

This post both made me laugh AND think it was a good idea; I'd love to see a magazine that was more than once a year. There's a bit of discussion of the most recent quarter; if people don't think that it is long enough (or that the pace will continue, or that people will consent to their articles being put in journals) a slight delay should help but a four times delay seems excessive.
