Continuing the topic of authors' incomes (and Habr developers :-)) - How to pay authors and How to pay authors or subscribe to Habr - I suggest to make an English version of the site. But, apparently, it will be necessary to involve professional translators in translation so that the authors themselves are not engaged in translation (and not everyone can translate their material well). The English version will dramatically increase the number of users and readers. And contextual advertising will call to attract additional income (and I think quite significant). For Habr, you can make official 2 languages - Russian and English. The only question that remains in such a scheme is what to do with the comments. Although they can also be translated. The mechanisms of work of Habr and Habr can be discussed, but I think it is very interesting and realistic to implement. Additional users and active participants of the Habr-movement are needed as the creators of the site, and participants.
