Don't everyone respond all at once! Heh.

Really, the main thing to be decided at the moment is about moving the timeline. Judging from previous earlier posts, it seems some are willing to give it a go.

So, here's the plan:

We move the timeline half a month over starting in January. Nominations will then start on the 6th of a month, and discussion will start on the 1st.

So the next few months will look like this:

November 22 - December nominations

-longer than normal reading period to move timeline-

January 1 - December discussion thread
January 6 - January nominations
February 1 - January discussion thread
February 6 - February nominations

And so on. In a way the timeline will still feel appropriate, since the actual reading will now take up most of one month to the end, and then we'll discuss that month's selection after the month is over.

We'll try it for six months, until we're at a year old, then decide which way we like better.
