On the future of LWNOn the future of LWNPosted Jul 27, 2002 10:44 UTC (Sat) by claes (guest, #2873)Parent article: On the future of LWN I read LWN every week, but only parts of it. I read the front page, the kernel page, the distributions end development pages and letters to the editor. The rest is simply too much, and not written in a style that interests me. The front page and the kernel page are best. I also liked your desktop section which is unfortunately gone. The editorial content of LWN is the best of it, and I think you should focus on this. If running a web site is too expensive, perhaps shrinking your ambitions and offering subscription for a newsletter by email may be a cheaper alternative?

On the future of LWN Posted Jul 27, 2002 14:01 UTC (Sat) by Deno (guest, #2765) [Link] Same here.I've read the LWN since the beginning, and I don't care about the daily stuff at all. I'm interested in their editorial comments, which have proven to be constantly high-quality over years. As long as I have a job, I'll be ready to pay $4/month (OK, make it $5/month) as a kind of subscription (i.e. reocurring payment). However, I definitively don't want LWN to close down parts of the site for subscribers-only. On the contrary, I would be very glad to pay them in order to continue producing high quality content which is free for everyone, and I wouldn't be ready to pay if they would close the site. So, call it a "subscription", "project funding", or "donation", but in any case keep the final product free. If needed, close down some additional services to make subscription look better, but keep the main stuff (HTML version of your weekly editorial) free for everyone!
