How do you two, and the rest of the community, feel about waiting a while for the [exercises] to get going and doing the two projects concurrently?
A poll follows.
I would favor prioritizing writing exercises for recent or upcoming reposts, and including any exercises written so far in the reposts. But tying the two projects together explicitly is courting failure; a delay in one should not delay the other.
I’d prefer to get started, unless there is some clear and specific benefit to waiting which you can point to. These posts are going to come out gradually over the next 23 months, so there will be plenty of time to prepare most of the exercises. It looks like the earliest post for which an exercise is in-the-making is Making Beliefs Pay Rent (in Anticipated Experiences), which we’re scheduled to get to in early June.
Coordination doesn’t have to be perfect for the projects to benefit each other. If an exercise gets completed before the rerun post has been made then the post can still link to it, and if the exercise is completed a few weeks after the rerun post then it still gets the advantage of addressing a topic that’s relatively fresh in people’s minds.
Okay, it looks so far like opinion favors just doing the reposts and letting the exercises take care of themselves. That’s fine by me. Will the reposts be in chronological order, and if not, can you tell me what the first five or so are? I’m taking this repost project as an excuse to pick up the pace on the exercises.

Vote up to go ahead and let the exercises be posted on their own time.
I have misgivings about waiting “a while”. I suggest proposing a specific timeline.
This. If “a while” is more than a few weeks, then no.

If a while is until, say, May 1st, I would favour holding off. But it needs to be something concrete, and measured in weeks, not months.

Yep, chronological order (the same order as here).
Vote up to wait and do this concurrently with the exercises.
Karma balance.
