The LWN folks (Jon Corbet and others) do a great job.  Unfortunately 
they can't work for free, they have bills to pay.  Donating spare time, 
while honorable, does little to help them pay their salaries, their 
server hosting/net connection bills, which allow them to continue to do 
what they do.  Considering the value I believe they bring, I have for 
the past several years, been a paying subscriber.  Unlike many of the 
other advertiser laden puff-zines out there, LWN is IMO a valuable 
resource.

If you have the financial wherewithal to support them, I urge you to do 
so.  If not, try contacting Jon (his email is on the site), and see if 
you can contribute articles.
