I've gone ahead and added $100 to the pool. I'm sorry I haven't done this sooner. I like both the subscription idea and the month-o-meter... basicly each month you'd have a thermometer that goes up to say $20,000 and every month the meter gets reset. If any month that meter doesn't at least make the $20,000 the staff of lwn would have to reconsider it's future. Also there is a subscription system inside paypal so those of us who forget to regularly donate will still be contributing.

If you guys decide not to continue LWN, please feel free to use this money to go out on a drinking binge ;) You guys have earned it ;)

I'm just wondering if it is reasonable to expect the LWN staff to
have to reconsider LWN's future every week/month/quarter/etc. There
really needs to be a scheme in place whereby LWN will be able to
continue in its current form for the forseable future.

I agree w/ jcurious, and I've added $20 to prove it.

I hope you can go on w/ LWN, but if not, please enjoy the contribution.
