Hence why we tried and made RAD build period only 3 weeks, knowing that this puts limitations on what can actually be achieved in a short space.

2 months for DAWN also feels to me that it could cause procrastination especially with real life to contend with, please prove me wrong

Right, but on the other hand for some people 3 weeks is just too short. It's a catch22. :(

Different scopes. 3 weeks for a RAD, 2 months for a full-scale Age.

Three months for me it would certainly be welcome. On the other hand I can live with two months. ;)

Suits me fine :D It'll be good incentive for me to actually finish an age :P (I have heaps of unfinished ones, and I'm kind of a perfectionist and don't release anything til I consider it done :P)

Could we leave off the extra week? Or add three? Seems ridiculous to not do it by full months.
