Actually, you can also compare the features of multiple profiles: click on the icon below each star ratings on a given list and then click on "Compare" on the little box that appears at the bottom left of the screen. For instance, for the issue tracker software: http://www.romku.com/compare/144524/189564/152689/152158/144...

I usually find spreadsheets harder to compare when it gets bigger (similar to the comparison table on wikipedia). I have added the first few sub-lists on Romku:

http://www.romku.com/list/343886/bug-tracking-issue-manageme...
http://www.romku.com/list/343887/collaboration-filesharing-s...
http://www.romku.com/list/343889/customer-relations-software...
Please let me know if you find it easier to navigate and I'll create the other ones (you can see the lists of lists here: http://www.romku.com/lists)

Re:Ask HN: What Search Engine do you use for your site?

For two pages google cse is more than enough, I would even think you don't even need a search box.
I was thinking more than just a poll but also providing a way to compare the various solutions available.
Ask HN: What Search Engine do you use for your site?
On http://www.romku.com I've deployed Apache Solr to provide the search. There are about 100K documents and it works really well (in particular, I like the faceted search). There are several alternatives (Lucene, ElasticSearch, Google Custom Search, Xapian, SpynxSearch...) and would like to know which ones you have tried / are using. Which one would you recommend.I've started a list here:...

Having full-time employees (as opposed to paying random people) creating the content and paid by for the quality of the content rather by the content would be better then. As long as there is an issue way to evaluate their "quality".

Ask HN: I need you but have no money. What can I offer you instead?
We spend a lot of our free time helping other for free: answering questions on stackoverflow, providing tips and advice on blogs, even clicking on an ad usually profits more to the advertiser that the person clicking. How can we reward fairly this work? Should we expect to be getting anything in return? I'd like to see more products or services for which good contributors and/or active users...

Same, I feel that if there is a good coverage from unit testing, then you should only need sanity checking. Furthermore, if you are using jquery (which itself is well testing on all the browsers), then you should have more confidence that your javascript will work (providing you're not using non-cross-browser javascript on top of jquery)
