It occurs to me that the "yet" that I added to this subject is a
little misleading. Michael wasn't talking about articles which
would appear this weekend...
From Michael's original message:
The last time I checked, I get 12-15 thousand readers for
each article. One half of one percent uptake would
(hopefully) be quite a few bug reports.
My question to the community is: is it too early to do this?
If I start now, the articles would probably appear April-May.
