They've been done in the past. Seemed fairly popular, when they appeared. I'd suggest putting its creation under the same, organized control that has been established in the past couple of days, if there's sufficient interest. Note: Sometimes, someone may not be hiring but may know of a position e.g. through a friend. "Who's Looking" might be useful, in that context. Also, those of us working for firms may well not have the authority/permission to publicly post a position (that may seem kind of backwards to some of you; nonetheless, it's not infrequently the case). But an interesting seeker might get a private email. P.S. Then again, maybe HN has since become too large and known, so that such a thread would no longer work. It might become overwhelmed.
