I'm addicted to Hacker News as well, and for a long time I've wanted
something similar for librarians. I even worked with my colleagues at
In the Library with the Lead Pipe to try to start such a community,
using SlinkSet (since acquired by Posterous) as the backend. We had
some activity for a while, but never really got it going and
ultimately decided close the site rather than fight the spammers.

So... what's it going to take for Library News to make it?
