Ask HN: Improvement of HN

Just want to see if anybody actually advocate to improve on the UI of HN a bit? I love the content here, but I think the search, navigation and display can be be improved. Is it possible to make an open-src project of it? Then HN site admin maybe can review the progress from time to time and push the latest stable branch to production. We can do it in a community way, or electing some kind of "benevolent dictator" over the project. I am sure a lot of us will contribute to improve it.

What do you all think?
