As a new user, I really like this idea. Are you suggesting this as an integral feature to the site? As in, would it be an additional mechanic to how the site worked? Or would this be a separate, community-run list of new users? Overall, like I said, I love the idea (and as I get more familiarized with the community I'd like to help newcomers that arrive after me). Also, would you mind explaining pubski a little bit? Just from lurking I'm getting the sense that it's a tag dedicated to kind of just updating the community about what's going on in your life?
Pubski is the Hubski pub. You essentially nailed it. You come to the pub and share anything you'd like to with the community that might not otherwise have a platform within the wider context of the site. It's a catch-all of sorts. A relaxed, personal environment for shooting the breeze. In this way, I think it serves the goal of making each person 'more than just a username'.
