Ask HN: Ideas to Improve HN
—————————————
(1) Top-Level-Comment-Format:
- IDEA: (One sentence)
- VALUE: (who needs what and why)
- ESTIMATES: Time & Resources
- VALIDATION: How will you know success happened? How would you compare it’s success with prior efforts? How would you know to when to failure happens or related efforts should end? (EDIT: Clarification of meaning “validation” — that being the topic of validation is limited to validation of the “value” not validation of anything else, including but not limited to validation of a given implementation technically, roadmap, etc.)
One idea per top-level comment to enable clear understanding of votes.

(2) Top-Level-Comment-Response-Suggestions:

DISCLAIMER: Other than having a meaningful understanding of HN/YC, I have no relationship with either. That said, if this makes the home page, I’ll ping the HN mods to insure they’re aware of it.
