Personally I doubt its gonna change much of anything, just a difference in management. There may be some new stuff added, but i don't think major changes are in store. From GDNet Direct
NeHe will continue to operate as an independent website under the management of GameDev.net
Although some changes will be made, we will continue to make NeHe's tutorials and other information freely available. We will also be working to add new content to the site.”

yes i think nehe is great too, its been a great learning resource for me and it still is!
but i think they could really get some new tutorials because most of them are already a bit old.
ps: whe is the nehe guy who writes the tutorials never using classes? i always thought that classes are much more handy than programming without them. or am i not able to use classes with opengl??? o.O
ps2: no time, have to go

How to do that with opengl? OpenGL is not OO it's just Win32 api + opengl and thats it.

OpenGL is written in C but of course you can use OO with opengl. take irrlicht as an example (and logic).
Maybe Jeff didn't use classes so it'll be in C code or for making it less complex (it is online).
but i dont think it matter for the learning (it matter in projects).
And OpenGL isn't win32+OpenGL. its portable and you use win32 a bit if you want to use it in windows.
We don't need these tutorials a lot (the Flag tutorial is nice) but its intersting what will be the next nehe tutorials if you ask me
