Update on LWN and subscriptions

“As of this writing, there are almost 1800 subscribers to LWN.net; we have also sold a small number of (small) corporate subscriptions. This level of support is almost sufficient for two full-time staff at minimal salaries — a huge step in the right direction, but still not enough to keep LWN going in its current form. While we hope and expect that the number of subscribers will continue to grow, we will have to take steps to live within our available means for the near future …

So there will be some changes to LWN. We’re working on the details now, and will post another update soon. But it looks like LWN is here to stay, and that is good news.”
