I am the guy who created this and let me say:

Wow, just Wow. Thanks HN for all the input! Thank you very much!

The debate contained in this post is extremely interesting and there is a lot to learn about the different point of views about language barriers, culture and communities!

I guess I decided to work on this when I learned that a lot of my fellow latin american hackers read HN every day but rarely participate or post new links. Felling that having a place to share new projects and interesting notes in my own language would be cool I decided to start this a couple of weeks ago.

The code is open source and hosted here: https://github.com/DFectuoso/Noticias-HAcker mostly in english! I think that will add a lot to the conversation: I am not saying don't learn english, just trying to generate a community where people feel confident because they are talking in their own language.

Hopefully this will motivate more and more people to share and talk about awesome stuff!

Enhorabuena. It's a very good idea, precisely for the reasons you state. Only one comment, though. It's not only for Latin American hackers, there are also Iberian speakers of Spanish who may benefit!

[DFectuoso]

You are totally correct, latin american and Iberian Hackers and people from any other place who happen to speak spanish!

En verdad buena idea, no lo había pensado de esa forma pero es cierto, considero que tengo un buen nivel de ingles, y visito hacker news muy seguido pero a la hora de participar no es lo mismo hacerlo en ingles que en tu propio lenguaje, esperemos que crezca tu proyecto por lo pronto me suscribiré! Saludos!

This is really motivating for anyone who wants to interact with local community in native language. Glad you shared the code, keep improving it and build some quality crowd there. Good luck.
