The HCL could use a MAJOR overhaul. It's so primitive. I feel like if the better features of Phoronix's HCL (open) and LinuxQuestions.org's HCL (organization; no duplicates; voting system) could be merged ... that'd be awesome.

You'll find all the latest news and reviews about casinos from our team here at Linux-Stats.org. We have over twenty years' experience in this industry, so we know how to help you win more!
This is the way to approach the HCL. Have a script than can poll the user's hardware (through lspci, lsusb, and then some basic scripting) and propagate their hardware into the HCL for them. Then let them comment on things. You could easily add extra cool functionality like having a personal profile page, where you can show off each of your machines, including a screenshot, longest uptime, etc. This lends itself to very cool distribution statistics as well. You could have automatically generated signatures for forums .... the possibilities are very cool and limitless!
The above project failed because:
- The guy behind it sucked at getting the word out, and was way too "touchy" regarding previous bad experiences in the Linux development area.
- It was buggy
If you can succeed where he failed (and I'd be willing to help you do so) ... that would be awesome.

you really see the problem if you try to browse the site on a small device like an N800

Nicely done. Thanks for listening, Phoronix :-)
every link in http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...item=820&num=1 still has target set to _blank.

They definitely have fixed the front page though. Much better!
