Merge HN: a submission proposal

10 points by mr_twj ↗ HN
It's just a submission tag that would provide an opportunity for not only the submitter but various other HN users to combine forces by merging projects together that never got traction. Hopefully in doing this, new projects may take shape in ways their composite projects could not separately.

Sample Submit Form:

title: Merge HN: yourprojectname url: http://yourprojecturl.com text: your project description

Any thoughts or suggestions?

I like it! Like probably most hackers, I have done a ton of "just for fun" projects that never got anywhere. It surely would be nice to have a place where everybody can watch for opportunities to throw in recycle-worthy stuff and maybe start something new.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just do this, and see if it goes anywhere? Thats much more organic and basically how the Offer HN trend started.

Ideally, yes. I don't have any projects meriting this function but I could foresee it in the future; in the meantime I wanted to know what HN thought. I'm glad to see some interested in such a site function.
