The ability to alert the news staff

Parent article: LWN meta-news

I've been thinking about this ever since I began reading LWN, and have finally decided to say it:

I think you guys should setup a mailinglist or mailbox where the community can alert you to interesting events in the Linux world.

I say this because IMO the LWN development team spends as much time looking for events as it does writing about them. Being able to have the community help you in identifying stuff that people would want an article on could be a benefit. The only downside I see is having to read an enormous pile of e-mail , but since the e-mail has been distilled from who-knows-how-many mailinglists down to just things we want you guys to look into, I think it could be a benefit.

Comments, suggestions, flames (especially flames) welcome.

From http://lwn.net/op/About.lwn:
For story submissions, questions, and general issues, send mail to lwn@lwn.net. In most cases, we request that you use this address rather than contacting individual LWN authors directly - somebody is always watching the lwn@lwn.net address. As a special case, Penguin Gallery submissions should go to penguins@lwn.net.

I've submitted two or three things in the past. They picked them up and added them quickly.

They also have pr@lwn.net for press releases

Good! I didn't know this already existed. Perhaps it should be displayed in a more prominent place.
