Parent article: LWN Update

Of course, I'm going to chime in with my thanks. Know that I'll be subscribing to this fine publication for as long as it and I are both sucking air. I am also always keeping an eye out for someone who needs to know about LWN, as well as those to whom I would like to give the gift of LWN.

That being said, I'd like to take this opportunity to make an unrelated meta-LWN comment: please release your source code. I know it's been asked before, but at the very least there are a few UI niceties that your faithful users would be happy to script and deliver back to you in a convenient `diff -u` format. I firmly believe that LWN is one of the finest interfaces to the Linux community, but there's a big piece that's missing there. We have a great opportunity for feedback with this comment system, and I've found it to be very useful - I think it could only be complemented by an additional feedback to the site's engine. Further, I really want to see an example of a neat design on top of Quixote. :)

Peace,

· John

Source release

You think it's a neat design? That's only because you haven't seen the source yet...

Releasing the code really is high on my list. Honest. The only problem is that lots of other things are up there too, and doing a source release right will take a few days of my time. I'll get there, though.
