It seems that suggested solution is always to create another Hive frontend with envisioned features. Not easy task taking into account lack of any sort of funding at the beginning.
I'd see that as heavily gamified (tutorials, achievements but even HP disguised as some sort of game resources), modular place that would provide most of information available on various sites built around Hive (Hivestats, hive-now, auto-vote etc).
Thank you for your voice.
