A few site changes [LWN.net]

A few small changes have been made to the site, in response to user requests. They include:

There is a new combined security page with a snapshot view of the various security-related resources on LWN. If all goes well, we'll put together similar pages for other categories of news.
The weekly archives page is back - and includes the table of contents for weekly editions published on the new site.
Comments are now presented in full-text form after an article by default. This behavior has always been available to readers with accounts. (If you do have an account, we assume that you set the option the way you wanted it and thus we did not change it).

There are many other enhancements we would like to make to the site if we can keep things going long enough. If you have not already done so, please consider donating to LWN or advertising to help keep LWN on the air.

Jon: Very nice work on the security page. I love it. Now what we need is a way to get E-mail alerts when new alerts arrive for a distribution that we have marked in our preferences. :)

And to add a word to everyone else about the part about advertising on LWN: We'll be making a slight change to our methods of selling our text ads very soon, which will greatly increase the value of the ads to our advertisers. I'll be posting more details about this sometime during the next 2 days.

Where's the swag?

Instead of outright donations, why doesn't the LWN cobble up some swag to sell through Cafe Press? I don't have any direct experience with them, but the quality of the stuff looks good, the prices are fair, it's pretty risk-free and effortless to get it started, and there are a lot of high-profile customers who seem to like dealing with them. Any comments from the lords of the LWN?
