> The L in LWN is for Linux, and AOO has nearly no users on Linux.

While the L in LWN did indeed originally stand for Linux, LWN is now about free software in general. See the FAQ (https://lwn.net/op/FAQ.lwn):

> LWN, initially, was "Linux Weekly News." That name has been deemphasized over time as we have moved beyond just the weekly coverage, and as we have looked at the free software community as a whole. We have yet to come up with a better meaning for LWN, however.

If you make it "Libre Wide News", you move it beyond Linux and beyond Weekly. It's still news :-).

So instead of Kernel and Security pages, we'd have pages about Sex and Enemies of Carlotta?

And instant banhammer for anyone saying "c******g w***n"...

Like it ! Granted, I'm a french speaker, so "Libre" doesn't sound awkward at all to me
