We’re going to produce about 41 * 30 = 1,230 blogposts over the month of November.
A related question would be, what would be the right number of great posts? The kind that might become shorthand or establish a new idea, or be quoted years from now.
I would say that I expect something like 1 in 100 posts to be great. (Imagine a blogger who writes 1 post a week for 2 years. Wouldn’t you expect 1 or 2 really awesome posts? So then that’s a 1% rate.) Then that would imply ~12 great posts from Inkhaven.
A related question is whether we can try to estimate whether Inkhaven helped. Perhaps we could go back over the edge cases in admission, which prompted some debate and were not clear accept/rejects, and pre-register their names now, before Inkhaven is over, and then have someone blinded look over their writing trajectories or something?
