The 'Search' tool does a particularly good job of uncovering resources in posts on specific topics. I just found YC startup Hellofax from a search of HN posts by searching 'faxing'.
A wiki would be nice though- with a place for HN/YC sourced apps for any given solution.
A wiki could be one way to categorize resources found in HN posts.
I would suggest adding a "vault" for every user, where he himself can bookmark or store those useful links and resources.
The wiki/aggregate idea was based on the fact that useful resources might be hiding in posts/comments.
Hiding them in vaults would clump them together, but the resources would still remain relatively hidden in the user vaults.
Apart from that, a wiki has the added value of organization and summary (a short description or other considerations).
There might be better ways to accomplish this task, though.

Search is great when you already know what to look for -- but we don't always know what we should be looking for.
