Re: [CODE4LIB] Library News (à la ycombinator's hackernews)
I'm super excited that Library News seems to be getting some traction. Thanks to my fellow code4libers. I'm the guy that did the hacking (with help from my coworkers, Jeff and David) to get Hacker News up and running. If you have technical questions about the site, shoot them my way. I'll be at code4lib in Seattle if Feb and look forward to chatting about this topic in person with many of you.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Library News (à la ycombinator's hackernews)
I'm trying to figure out what software they use, but that 'about' page has a link that does not seem useful (it links to a page for a lisp-like language, with no mention of any software package in that language or any other that can provide a hacker-news-like site). Don't know if the link is in error, or what. Anyone know what software Hacker News and this Library News clone are based on, for real, and where to look at the source/documentation? Trying to google for what open source software Hacker News runs on, I'm not having any luck.
