It appears clear from where I am typing that LWN needs to face up to the necessity of a significant reduction in staff.

If you cannot meet expenses then you have to cut expenses - if you wish, in some fashion, to survive.

E.g. - when the excellent Storage Review site faced folding, one of it's two staff members found other work. A sadness for everyone, it is true - and the site is no longer everything that once it was.

Financially, I would guess that the fellow who left was probably much better off than the fellow who stayed. It is not as if you would be financially hurting anyone by letting them go - far from it. You would probably be doing them a favour by letting them out gracefully.

But at least then the site would still up and running and still serving the greater community.

Sometimes half a loaf is better than none.

Good luck,

George2
