my thoughts exactly. My UX:

first thought - looks nice, ok so, I clicked on "I can help", which is just signup, ok well I want to know what I'm signing up for, do I earn money helping others, is it a time donation thing? so then I clicked on "about" which tells me nothing, then I just went away.

I think the idea is interesting and with some more details I would have probably signed up. Also the "You believe in best practices." was kind of odd to me. I dunno if anyone else thinks this way though, but I don't believe in best practices, I do believe you should know the best practices for your field and understand them, so you know when to apply them and when not to.



There are lots of small weirdnesses scattered around a website which doesn't really have much detail.

It's a good idea - I was thinking open code review would be a super useful thing for many people - but a demo of how it works in practice would be worth a thousand XP points.

I'd be deeply reassured if there was explicit support for the Hacker School Social Rules.


Yep, we need to explain it more. No money's involved, we're not keen on reputation like SO. What would be worth helping for?
