And of course, I expect you to be reading the posts as they come out, with every ounce of intellectual rigor you can muster... ;-) [Actually, I don't think any of them are a daunting read] It’s always hard to predict how these things will go, but there are some pretty high profile writers here, so hopefully interest (and responses) will be high.

Ahem. But I am so pleased to see you bring this project to fruition, and think the advantage of the way you've structured it is that we can wait till the end of the week if we like and read all 10 posts at once, like a mini monograph that's appearing first in serial form. Had you spread the posts out over a longer period of time I think it's less likely people would read them sequentially as they come out. It'll be interesting to see which post are most read and how wide the spread is; also interesting to see what kind of debate this will engender on the whole subject. Which is, I think, the point. Is it Monday yet? I was giggling as I read this post, thinking that two a day were a lot to keep up with too, and that perhaps I lacked a certain intellectual rigour. Ahem.

I was going to publish one per day for a week (thinking that extending the series beyond a week wouldn't hold readers' attention), but it quickly became clear that the perspectives here are so diverse within the civil society community that 5 blogs simply weren't enough. The good news though is that they will all be archived, so that people can go back and read them at their leisure. You’re right it is!
