Parent article: The importance of saying "thanks"

I'm not sure this is quite the sort of thanks I was suggesting...

Some people agree with the decision to reorganize the site's content, others don't. Our feeling was that the front page needed to be a little more dynamic, so we made the change. Bookmark lwn.net/current if you would rather come in to the weekly edition.

The daily content has been a feature of lwn.net for a good four years now. It falls out naturally as part of the process of gathering and integrating information for the weekly, and really takes almost no extra time. The daily content is not detracting from the weekly content; it just lets us spread the work out over the week and make some of the results available in the mean time.

Navigation to older weekly editions is a known problem, it just didn't get fixed before deploying the new code. The new site will make it easy to set up a nice equivalent to the old "archives" page, with tables of contents available and such. Patience.

Thanks for your input.

Well, i'm sorry that it wasnt the kind of thanks you expected. I did start with a big THANKS for creating lwn, i really like it. Just not the new changes.

If i bookmark stuff, i forget the link, and then i can not visit it from computers that doesnt have my bookmarks, and if i loose my bookmarks, i loose the site :/

It's good to hear you are not removing focus away from the weekly edition, thats what I, and i think most people, come here for.

I dont think one should deploy the new website before such importent basic features is working. Also, i dont think it's a good idea to remove features
from a website.

Part of the reason that I was being sarcastic with the "thanks" was that i came back a month? after the change, and wanted to read the past 5 weeks editions. Which were hard to find :/ So I emailed, and there wasnt any respons.
