Just my 2 cents: It could be beneficial to roll out the videos over a 
longer time scale to keep people interested in it after they are 
completed. I guess if we have them completed and then release one each 
week that might lead to more people seeing them as when there is just 
one big announcement with a lot of stuff to look at.

(Of course as the work is in public, “releasing” something is more 
marketing than anything else. But that is how the internet works. Also: 
don’t forget the clickbaity titles ;-)
