Sep 2, 2013 at 20:52 comment added Eliah Kagan @Seth Graphical programs written in Python and using common GUI toolkits are common when developing Ubuntu software. My understanding is that many questions on developing desktop apps using Python are kept open on Ask Ubuntu, even if they apply equally to some other OSes. You might want to post a meta-answer here about why you think this question is unrelated to development affecting Ubuntu. That's not a clear-cut issue, and if we're going to build a community consensus about it, it would be nice to have more robust examples of questions involving such development.
Sep 2, 2013 at 20:48 comment added Seth I completely disagree here. This question has absolutely nothing what-so-ever to Ubuntu nor development that effects Ubuntu. It most certainly is something we can take a stand on!
Sep 2, 2013 at 19:23 comment added Eliah Kagan @Braiam Yeah, I know that's what you mean. I believe the word "definitive" was a perfectly good and correct way to express that. I don't think there's anything wrong with your original wording. I just totally disagree with the idea that anything about that question is likely to be applicable, without serious problems or complexity, to any other question we get in the future. In other words, I don't think we should be making general policy with that question as an example.
Sep 2, 2013 at 19:21 comment added Braiam Now that I read your answer, I think I need someone to proofread my post, or at least read it for me aloud... check the edit. What I wanted to mean is define better what kind of question are definitely on topic, as the general policy. Of course those rules are meant to be modified upon discussion. But seems that only 3 people are likely to discuss this. :/

changed wording to accommodate recent wording change in question (which doesn't change the meaning); other wording changes for clarity
