Well, I've just subscribed to that one, so that I get the reminders when it's about to start, but I figure I'll hold off and see what July is like before I commit myself.

I wonder if the thing to do is try just one this year (possibly the October one, to give more time for planning) and see if it works, and if it does, then introduce an April one in 2022. And I think there's a definite need for a mod team. For a challenge like that, I'd want... maybe six mods minimum, if you're looking at a schedule like Snowflake and you want that same level of mod encouragement (and I think you do, to stop latecomers getting disheartened by being unseen and unheard)? Possibly less if it was going to be a less intensive schedule?

The more I consider it, the more I wonder if three is the right number (although Snowflake and Sunshine are badly positioned to each other to make that work well without one of them moving). But, once every four months feels like it's infrequent enough to still be something to get excited about, while still often enough that we don't feel deprived.
