Free Market, I thought that was what I said when I conceptualized
the whole site? Free Market works by each agent getting what they
want from a specific market, and by virtue that these agents participate
makes the specific market famous for such exchanges, which attracts
more participation.
I present no barriers of entry to anyone, because I think it is economically
beneficial to all parties. And you cannot ask someone to volunteer unless
you tell him/her what he/she can get out from this website.
We can promise exposure, we cannot yet promise money. But several
people on this list has already gotten job offers (whom I shall not name)
because of their involvement with SLP. Participants will benefit
indirectly, that I can promise.

Think of it this way, you have a fast local ftp site which only
locals will access. No sane Americans would want to mirror
redhat from a Singapore mirror.
We have a fast website on cyberway which everyone, in this
world will access.
We have the best of both worlds. Is not that great?

That is why I am begging all of you to write articles. It is to
YOUR benefit anyway, when your articles get to be seen by
thousands.
I tell you, if any of you can churn out a good SuSE 6.2 review now,
it will be seen by thousands, possibly millions! Who wants to do
it? If nobody wants, I will do it. I will definitely benefit from it.
Eddie, can I get a copy of SuSE 6.2 from you. I will do the review,
if nobody else wants to. Eddie, sorry for not getting the review on
the hacker keyboard out, I am trying to get the review on Myth II
out first. Will get it done as soon as possible.
