Have any subscription fees been discussed yet? 
What I'm thinking of, will it bring in enough money for the extra hassel
(and lesser readers) that you get instead of having it as a PDF
downloadable?

Perhaps have it possible to subscribe to paper copy and also have it
downloadable as PDF? 

I think it's a great initiative but it would be a real shame if we could
get lots of readers (and have a nice way for external people to get a
good picture of the project).

It would be awesome to have a "developers section" in there with
articles on how to use certain techniques and suchs...
