> Not sure if this is kosher or not... I think this kind of thing should be encouraged a lot more. Some kind of geography - matching would help foster a more mature community. hackrtrackr.com tried it, but I think it would work better if it were built into the system. Maybe a link on top called "local" that would somehow connect me to people around my major city (which I specify in the settings)? ^ more details in posts like this are a good idea, also. I think secrecy in startups seems to be overrated, but from the way YC tends to do business, they seem to disagree. I guess they reason it's better to err on the side of secrecy, and I'm probably irrationally biased because of the political associations of the word, but in this case, it seems like a good idea to talk freely.

Yea, I agree on the feature you just mentioned. I think it would be really helpful. I mean, there is a jobs tab, but that's only for previous YC companies. Anyways, it wasn't so much that I was trying to be secretive, but like I said, I am willing to change the idea and didn't want to scare anyone off by mentioning anything in particular and I think that seems to have worked out nicely cause I have been talking to someone for a little and we are changing around the idea already, to something we both think is better. So that was where I was coming from.
