Note that a nicely formatted and typo-corrected version of The Sequences is currently being prepared for PDF, Kindle, and iBooks.

Is there any editing being done? In my opinion, a lot of essay 'refactoring' could be of use here for Eliezer's writing.

Is there any public timeframe for when these will be released, even an approximate one?

December? Not sure.

Do you have a 50% confidence interval?

Here is my 70% confidence interval.

Sorry for the late reply but the question just occurred to me: is this publication likely to include the current sequence, "Highly Advanced Epistemology 101 for Beginners"? (I don't know how long the sequence will be, so I'm not sure if there's time.)

Will it include references to concepts not wholly original, and provide footnotes when a presented concept is similar to a mainstream line of thought, but differs in a significant way?

The lack of the above is my main reason for putting off the sequences; I like to be able to track and attribute ideas to their source partially so I can better introduce them to others.
