The death of Ian was just a sad event striking the software and Open Source community, and i strangely believe that this man deserves black bar on HN for all his contributions and help of the technology, do you have an idea if it will happen ?
This was a very sad day for the entire FOSS community and, why not, Computer Science as a whole. The improvements Ian provided certainly pushed CS forward in a number of areas. Black bar is certainly deserved, as well as exposing what really happened.<p>May Ian's work and legacy motivate existing contributors and bring new ones.
