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 |
| 16 |
editor may get say $100 per GWN issue, that would run say $1200 a year. With a |
| 17 |
little more depending on articles. Gentoo could easily afford that for a good |
| 18 |
GWN like it had before. |

Really up to others to decide on how much for what, etc. This would also |
| 21 |
require some time on the Trustees and others behalf to cut checks, do the |
| 22 |
accounting. |

|

This would give reason to say donate or sponsor the GWN. Since they could see |
| 25 |
their money being used for articles, etc. |
