Well free software is about being able to modify and improve designs and share those designs. It would be a pretty dull magazine if each issue was an incremental revision of the previous issue.On Saturday 12 March 2005 08:16, Jason Clifford wrote: Presuming there are enough people who want to write an article, somebody else needs to select articles. A better quality publication attracts more submissions and takes more selection. AFAIK many top kernel contributors and maintainers have someone with enough interest to pay their wages. I want the magazine to keep existing each month. If a guy needs wages to do this magazine, I am happy to contribute because I get my moneys worth. I am happy to pay money for the FSF to stay in existance. I am happy to pay money for bitTorrent to be developed more, I am happy to contribute to hosting costs of some open source projects. It is a nice ideal for the world to be the kind of world we think it should be, sometimes financial support makes this ever so much more likely in very specific ways. I waste more than a pound per month on truly worthless things, if I need to cut back, I'll save the pound from there. I understand that you want the magazine to keep existing, but not to the tune of £1 per month. Thats fine, and I look forward to reading one of your contributions every now and then. Sam |
