If you split up some of the longer articles, you might be able to get it to exactly 365 days of blog posts. :)
The eBook will be organized into 26 sequences, all of similar length; so if you want to start new discussion threads, perhaps you should do one thread per sequence rather than one per blog post.
We should totally try this before doing sequence reruns - do a discussion group on, say, a sequence a week.
26 sequences one every other week is precisely 52 weeks = the number of weeks in a year. Not bad.
Assuming there are about 300 articles total, that comes out to about 11 or 12 articles per sequence on average, which at one every other week is a little less than once per day.
I think I'd still prefer an article per day (or every other day, as per earlier poll), but I'll let others weigh in on this. Should I do yet another poll?
I'd sooner go for one a week; I think that's closer to the likely reading pace and it means we quickly find out whether it works. We could easily follow it with an article-a-day presentation if that's what we think is best after learning from the sequence-a-week presentation.
FYI, each sequence is (very roughly) 20,000 words.
Assuming it is slower to read than the standard 200 wpm, that's still only a couple of hours each; seems doable!
