Is it really The End?
Proposal:
1) Show in a very visible place, the top 5 contributors of the month, the top 5
contributors of the week and the the top 5 contributors of the day. Add links to lists
of all contributors.
2) Show in a very visible place, how much money is still missing to reach the target
for the current month. The daily updated raised money would show the grand total,
including the donated and advertising money. So people can see: "mmm, the target is
US$ 15,000, today is already 15th and these guys only got 5,000 so far. Let's
contribute to them". or: "This month people contributed already 20,000, and there's
still a week to go, let's save my contribution for the next month".
This way, friends of LWN (and this might apply in the future to other Linux sites)
would know exactly how things are, in a open way, automatically updated every day.
And they can help, particularly when money is more hardly needed, with the little but
important reward of seeing her/his name in the thank you board of the month, of the
week, of the day.
I am not sure if the amount of money raised this way would be enough, of course, but
I think it would be worth to try.
