Yup: 20$-30$ a month = dot-com millionaire, 50$ a month = Bill Gates :-)
One intruiging thought I had about this article: The reason I like LWN is also the high quality and low amount of comments. I realised, if we double the subscriber base, that might change for the worse? Also it might be a mistake to make Slashdot (as some suggested) your main avenue to promote LWN :-)
About the two weeks: Make subscriber content public in two weeks, available to registered users in one week and paying subscribers immediately. Then you'd get interested readers to subscribe, might have a better idea of who they are and it might lower the threshold for them to eventually pay something. Just a thought, don't know if it would matter.
