There are a few excellent problems that are being developed. At least one is just about ready, and a couple more should be ready soon.

It does raise an interesting question though... should we wait until we've got a batch of two or three, or should we just release one at a time as development is completed?

I hope you don't mind, but I've added a poll to your post to assess opinion on this.

Of course opinion here could change, but based on this current view my proposal then is to try and release one new problem every Friday evening. The forum has been a perfect opportunity to discuss and develop new problems, and at this stage one per week seems to be a reasonable target.

However, due to this increased "production" demand, not all of the testers will necessarily have to time to complete and fully test each new problem. We shall set a minimum of three developers giving verification of wording and solution. Please bare in mind that this is not a binding commitment as we may encounter a drought of ideas throughout the year, and all of the testers may have heavy commitments in their personal lives, but we shall give it our best shot! :wink:
