Yeah, I considered moving more slowly in the way that you suggest. The reasons I’m not doing that feel a bit complicated/hard to articulate, but some of my motivations:
Not wanting to be patronising towards people. Making a cal event is not hard, anyone can do it
Feeling like ‘value this thing enough that someone in the group can make a cal event for it’ is a reasonable bar below which it maybe just makes sense for a group to fail
Having more trust/faith in groups than I think some other people have. Like, I don’t expect that by default everything will work super smoothly. But I don’t think it needs to work smoothly to be valuable, and I do expect by default that smart people will be able to notice that no one’s shared a reading yet or that there’s a scheduling conflict to resolve, even without someone being meta point person
Desire to experiment, to offer a space which I have found really valuable to others, not to drag things out for months and months on something which is actually pretty simple
