One of the problems here is that every week, someone creates a new Wiki, or Excel of HNers, or archive of posts, and a week later no one remembers it. What's going to stop the wiki from being forgotten?
I'm trying to fix this "Meta" problem with a webapp I created, which is basically a (votable) list of resources for HN or any other site. You can find it here: http://resourcey.com/site_details/2/news.ycombinator.com/ http://resourcey.com/site_details/2/news.ycombinator.com/. It's helping me solve this issue for myself, so at least I'm scratching my own itch :)
- wvl 16y agoThis is a start, but it suffers from the same problem that all of the wikis, spreadsheets, archives, and alternative interfaces do -- how do people find it in the first place? But _this_ is the problem I see the Hacker News wiki should solve. Maintaining a wiki about all the subjects that get posted here would quickly lead to madness. However, maintaining a wiki related to all the meta information the site generates (such as pointing to previous attempts to hide the points associated with comments) would be extremely valuable. However, the only way this problem gets truly solved is if we can get pg to add a link to a wiki or something from the site.
- edanm 16y agoWell, it is possible that pg will add a link to Resourcey. But my hope is this becomes a semi-known place to go for "resource links for hackers". That way you only have to remember one site, but whatever other site you go to, you can find interesting spin-off resources.
