[QUOTE="billd91, post: 5435327, member: 3400"] That arbitrary schedule is what people are going to use to budget their time, to plan our their work week. If the release team (web engineers, anybody else managing files that get released) is getting their work interrupted every time some content writer gets done with an article and wants to get it out to the fans too irrational to wait for the regularly scheduled weekly updates without throwing a hissy fit, how happy with they be in the workplace? How much of their other work will get done well? What you seem to keep forgetting is that there are people on the production end of this content you think WotC shouldn't be sitting on. And these people have workloads of stuff to manage, not just distribute whatever is hot off the presses. Schedules are there to manage [b]everybody's[/b] work in a reasonable fashion. Electronic publishing means that the deadlines don't have to be nearly as far out as a print magazine, but the flow of the workplace and quality benefit when it's managed smoothly. [/QUOTE]
