I think you misread the comment from Dan (dang); he clearly qualified
his statement with, "in about a year." Which is the same as stated in
the HN FAQ:
>"If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we
kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok."
If you want to spread the word about your project, you'll be better
served by doing something interesting with it, blogging about the
interesting thing you did, and submitting said blog post to HN. As long
as you can keep doing interesting things with your project, you'll keep
getting plenty of attention here.
