Cool idea, but I wouldn't plan to have it be branded long-term as "The Hacker News for Education." I could imagine a very small subset of educators know what HN is, and to be honest, I always thought of "hacking" in the stereotypical Hollywood way. Until I came to Hacker News and read a few pg essays did I understand the colloquialism here. I did/do "hack" things, but I never thought about it like that - so I imagine educators might freak with the stereotypical definition being top of mind.
- japhyr 14y agoI'd like to see it called Educator News. I'd like it as close of a clone to HN as possible. This name would communicate clearly what it is, while maintaining a connection to HN for those of us with feet in both communities.
