All,
It seems Wine 1.0 was deemed a significant event for Linux and Free Software in 2008.
It'd be pretty strange if it weren't. We don't brag about it, but we're probably one of the top 5 most newsworthy projects.

And as far as I know, in the 10 years since LWN started, there has been exactly one LWN article about Wine. For the 1.0 release, in the Development section.
Sure they carry the Wine announcements, and occasionally mention an article about Wine in the Press section. But real articles about Wine? Nope. One almost gets the feeling that they don't like Wine for some reason...

That said, maybe we're not newsworthy.
Not that we're not doing incredible work, but that we're not 'advertising' it well enough, or that it's too obscure or presented in a way that makes it hard to get excited about... Heck maybe we should have more regular major releases.
