Shlomi Fish writes: "I'm an open-source software developer, and write technical articles, technical or non-technical essays, and some blog entries. I've been writing articles for O'ReillyNet for payment (and for Freshmeat.net for T-shirts), but been often set back by the lack of the responsiveness of some of the editors there. (They are busy after all).

Can anyone recommend some online publications they had a good experience with, which will pay for submissions? I'm relatively flexible, and can accept most editorial changes, but really need good responsiveness. Note that I'm a technical person and knows programming and computers inside and out."

Also see a discussion on the Israeli Linux mailing list.

This law is very bad and should better be stopped so please help spread the word."
