#1: You're being totally anonymous all the way down to protecting the identity of the person controlling the domain. This does not inspire trust. #2: In combination with the above, you're using a brand new, minutes old, entirely empty HN account, but of course you somehow know enough about HN to consider the people here would somehow be "prominent" on your site. Again, this doesn't foster trust. #3: There was a very strange and oddly worded "Ask HN" post requesting or better said reprimanding HN members to do similar non-profit stuff about 22 hours ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2474522 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2474522 #4: One person's charity is another person's nemesis. There are supposed "charities" on all sides of disagreements. #5: I don't care about being "prominent" so feeding me marketing drivel is less effective and more damaging than you might imagine. #6: There are a number of organizations like this already. Since the goal is to both pull and pool tech volunteers to work on charities, it makes sense to work with an already established organization rather than dividing efforts. My personal favorite is http://www.rhok.org/ http://www.rhok.org/ (disaster relief) and if you look through their site you'll see they have very wide support from a lot of major companies. Instead of making an anonymous, half-thought proposal, I suggest you do some research first. If you're serious about all this, then you need to rethink how you approach the people who might be willing to help you.
