Agreed. Once you have videos coming in quickly, the amount of attention each talk gets diminishes heavily, including the amount of external attention D itself gets.

I guess is very culture-specific. Quite lot of programmers I know personally would have considered such marketing just for the sake of marketing an extremely hostile action and I personally have felt very frustrated when read that announcement.

What I'd _personally_ like to see is all videos released at once but then once in a 2 days they get details nice description / summary prepared and announced via reddit-whatever only than. Can volunteer to do that "textification" if needed.

Can't we upload all of them somewhere more private.

2 a week + early access to kickstarter contributors seems like the most apropriate compromise to me.

As frustrating as it is for non-attending enthusiasts like myself, I'd say stick with the current schedule. The marketing checks out.

Well, just be careful because this could become a double edged sword. Some people "may" lose interest when the things are slow too.

Again, be careful with that decision. For example, this seems to be reasonable at first, but doing this would NOT be nice with the developers in this community who couldn't afford with kickstarter, but contribute in another way, like for example: fixing bugs.

PS: I'm not included in any of these case here.

Whatever schedule is chosen, please make it memorable like "Tuesday && Thursday - D talk day".

Let's take a quick poll on how often we should make new pull requests. I say let's limit ourselves to only two per week.

Again, I don't understand what the problem is. It is my opinion that it's best for D if we release videos on a schedule, and I explained what makes me think so. Could you please do the same?

Thanks,
