Adding subscriptions is an interesting idea and something I would sign up for. Seems like they would - provide a source of sustainable/recurring income - falls within good taste and controlled by the project (not kickstarter, not ads in motd, etc.) - fits within an existing source of revenue (purchasing stuff on the site) An unknown is how much something like this would take away from real development; and whether it would be worth doing. I'm not an OS/kernel developer but have been creating web applications forever. I am willing to help with this or any other tasks so the OS hackers can continue to make OpenBSD, OpenSSH (and the rest of the family) the best tools out there. Jeff
