I've got a fair whack of experience in formatting and layout of academic books and articles. This is something I'd be keen to take on.

For my part, I think it's best to aim for an annual issue. Many specialist academic journals are issued on an annual basis - 
Anatolian Studies, an important journal in my field, is published 
annually - so I don't think it's unreasonable to do it that way. There's a couple of reasons for that. First off, annual volumes will be more substantial and content-rich whatever happens, and would also mean that new lexical and grammatical information would not be quite so scattered. (That's the only problem with the back issues of HolQeD - it's so many individual volumes that many people will never be able to get a hold of them all.) Secondly, it  would also offer the editorial team more time across the year to get everything sorted (remembering that all the work involved will be on a volunteer basis). I have a few chronic health problems that can rear their heads with little notice, and so dealing with a quarterly HolQeD would be out of the question for me, but an annual issue would be eminently doable.

The major question for an annual volume would be, when to put it out? Since there's only really a few months between qep'a' and Quvar qep'a', I'd think that after Saarbrücken would be the way to go. That way we could have reports from SepjIjQa' qep'a' and DoyIchlan qep'a' both in the same volume. (Plus the arrival of a new volume in the mail in late November to December would be a nice present to oneself for Hanukkah, Christmas, Festivus, QI'lop, or whatever...)
