Can I pay someone to re-create Hackernews for a niche? Maybe we can partner

I have about zero skills. I am now considering taking a "webmaster course" where id learn php, javascript, css, etc...

In the meantime i'm in the military and dont have much spare time. Interested parties please shoot me an email benbakhshi at gmail

If you have some skills yourself, you could hack on Reddit's code (it's all open source), which is similar in a lot of ways.

HN is also open source:

That's the current hackernews in code? Big ups! I didnt think there were any because i hadnt seen any copy-cat sites around.

Not sure if it's the current version, but it's from August of last year so it's pretty recent.

Maybe i can learn to hack it.

OSQA is free and open source and also similar...
