Mmm, nod. I think this is the first request I’ve gotten for the review period being longer. I think doing this would change it into a pretty different product, and I think I’d probably want to explore other ways of getting-the-thing-you-want. Six months of the year makes it basically always Review Season, and at that point there’s not really a schelling nature of “we’re all doing reviews at the same time and getting some cross-pollination-of-review-y-ness.”
But, we’ve also been discussing generally having other types of review that aren’t part of the Annual Review process (that are less retrospective, and more immediate-but-thorough). That might or might help.
For the immediate future – I would definitely welcome reviews of whatever sort you are inspired to do, basically whenever. If nothing else you could do write it out, and then re-link to it when Review Season comes around.
