If we were going to add anything, I'd like to see a Vanilla Forums type

I've found Vanilla infinitely extendable and is really nice to work with.

If some Ruby on Rails developer has the time to do a bit of tweak to it, by
integrating Google Account using OAuth, we could get a Silicon Beach HN

I agree with this - what's missing is people's profiles and what they
want out of Silicon Beach.
Just a simple profile with links to Twitter, Linkedin, blog to find

1) Make another google group (silicon-beach-jobs) and make it clear
