You get a > whole newsletter or no newsletter. I used an example of Linode paying $100 for documentation. Something like a $10 or something small reward for an article that is used. An editor may get say $100 per GWN issue, that would run say $1200 a year. With a little more depending on articles. Gentoo could easily afford that for a good GWN like it had before. Really up to others to decide on how much for what, etc. This would also require some time on the Trustees and others behalf to cut checks, do the accounting. This would give reason to say donate or sponsor the GWN. Since they could see their money being used for articles, etc. -- William L.
