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.
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.

We should totally try this before doing sequence reruns—do a discussion group on, say, a sequence a week.

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!
