Hey guys (and probably girls, if there are some :))!

I think, we need something like this but for Arc. Awesome Arc page with categorized libraries.

Actually, is Arc used anywhere except for this forum and HN?

We hear about the odd person using it when they come here to ask questions or report bugs (e.g. http://arclanguage.org/item?id=18580). Often we can't tell what they're up to, but the most common impetus seems to be to build a HN-like community for their own interests, such as http://arclanguage.org/item?id=18620, or http://arclanguage.org/item?id=17325.

Googling around, I found it quite easy to find a HN clone called http://firespotting.com at https://github.com/mmccaff/PlacesToPostYourStartup. Another location: http://www.quora.com/Hacker-News/Whats-the-best-way-to-creat.... There's other stacks now to create clones, but many clones still use arc.

The biggest install I know of is http://hubski.com. Perhaps we should keep a list somewhere. But really what we seem to care about here is thinking about alternative stacks. That and helping beginners to programming in general or arc in particular :)

You should build it! It'll be a lot shorter :)
