I'm sure that the LWN editors would love to have the kind of in depth coverage for all their sections that the kernel page has. Jon is deeply involved with kernel development so it's fairly easy for him to write about it. The other LWN editors, it is my understanding, are in a much less techie position and don't have the time to spend digging deep into the guts of some project or distro. As for the contributing authors, myself included, I'd love the chance to get into real meaty subjects and dig deeply into projects & distros. However, I only have a few minutes a week to devote to writing. I have to work my "day job" in order to pay rent. LWN can't afford to pay my salary (meagar that it is).
I am going to try and do more in depth stuff, especially on distros and various app/util reviews. My only other strength is that I know a lot of the history of Linux. I started with in in November 1991. A while ago I'd writen a loose, fluffy piece on the Linux history that I have experienced over the years. I might try and clean it up and flesh it out to be something solid. Maybe. One of these days.
