Call me an optimist or a fool if you will, but I'm banking on us being at least half-way through TNG by the end of 2012. If we're not up to season 3, I'll be vey disappointed.

You're going to be very dissapointed. But to Admiral Bear's question, they've already said Season 1 would be out next year.
I imagine it very likely the seasons will start to come out like this:
Season 1; Fall 2012
Season 2; May 2013 (Star Trek XII is released)
Season 3; Fall 2013 (Trek XII Home video release)
Yes, I'm expecting a season to be released every 6 months starting Q3 next year, so season 7 won't come out until 2016. If they want the sets to retail at $100+ for as long as possible, they can't afford to saturate the market with them.

With the amount of trawling throught the archives for the master footage, trying to find missing reels (it's inconceivable there won't be anymore over what we already know about), and then all the work needed to put the HD episodes together ie HD visuals, new CGI planets, HD transport/phaser effects etc etc, I think a season every 6 months is very optimistic.
I know the DVDs came out one season every 6 months, but they didn't need anywhere near the same level of work.
Well I expect there will be a lot of stock shots and planets that they can reuse, and with practice they'll probably also get better at reconstructing the episodes. If initial sales bode well, they might also commit more resources to the effort knowing that the seasons after the first two will undoubtedly sell in larger volumes. But yes, 6 months is probably on the optimistic side.
You never know, we might get the 7th season of TNG just in time for the 30th anniversary. 
Bloody hell, will Blu-ray still be around in 6 years time?

That's what I'm hopping for aswell. I'm convinced CBS is following a long term strategy with this project so it would be perfectly reasonable to assume this is what they are doing. Then again, once they have the finished product edited on film, it wouldn't be too difficult to rescan at a higher resolution?
There's no way that they'll have a finished product edited on film. Maybe if it was just slugging all the pieces together, but they also have all the comps/effects to include.
No, they're almost certainly just scanning the film & doing all the edits on a computer (as a digital intermediate). Hopefully at 4K, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just 2K/1080p.
Probably, but CBS isn't spending money on this project for home video -- the real money to be made here is in syndication, and HD will probably remain the television standard for a while.
You don't think they'd scan everything in at 4K, archive it, and then resize it for the editing?
Has it been officially confirmed that effects, planets, etc. will be redone with CGI? Everyone here seems to take this for granted, but what if the effects are just being upscaled?
In the trailer, there's at least one effect (Qo'nos) that has been re-done in CGI. Anyway, considering the money being spent on this project, I'd highly doubt any upscaling being done when they didn't have to.
A vivid HD Enterprise orbiting a very badly rendered SD planet would make for a bit of a jarring viewing experience.
Has it, though? To me it looks like they worked with the original matte painting and just added some minor CGI tweaks here and there.
He is talking about the space shot of Qo'nos not the city on the planet. Watch the trailer and see for yourself or go back a few pages in this thread to see the comparison. Its definitely a new render.
These don't look like minor tweaks or upscaling to me.
