Indeed great news. Does this mean lwn finally more or less works as a business?

Quoting 2002 ( http://lwn.net/Articles/5409/ ):

"...Various approaches to bringing in money have been tried... But we have not succeeded in raising even a fraction of the required funds... Other options (such as subscriptions) have been considered in depth, but there is little promise (and much aggravation) to be found in that direction...
The end result is that next week's LWN Weekly Edition (August 1) will be the last..."

The fact that we're still here nearly ten years after that bad day suggests that, at some level, something clearly "more or less works." We've made a lot of progress, and are hoping that, with some more help, that progress can be made to continue.
