Apparently, Harriet has been quoting 'The Gambler' when asked on this tour. Tor really wants these published, Sanderson advocates for them not being published. Harriet seems on the fence, which is understandable since I think that's where most of fandom is as well.
I don't think any decision will be made for a while. If they get published, I think it will be the prequels and it'll be announced several years after AMOL's publication. The success of the Enclyclopaedia and fan reaction to it will probably be a big deciding factor. The outrigger novels are much less likely IMO.
So, I put it at 50/50 or a bit higher for prequels being published. I think that the outriggers have much longer odds.

Does anyone think Harriet won't commission the outrigger trilogy?

I bet they will be published, considering the success of the WoT books. *NM*

We don't really know the circumstances of the rights she holds.

I don't agree - the impression I got was that this was more from respect than contractual.

I could see, maybe, the Tam al'Thor prequel being published, but not the outriggers. *NM*

yes - basically, he doesn't want any of them written, but if they are, he wants to be the guy

Right, but I've only seen him say that in the context of the outriggers. *NM*
