A Bash/Ubuntu question is going to be on-topic here, Unix.SE, SU, SF, and SO... And probably more. " - maybe this shows that separating sites like that was a mistake, and a model closer to Quora's is better (one site with many tags/topics). | |
| Mar 11, 2014 at 6:36 | comment | added | Mahesh | I don't think we would be against trying it out. But to be honest, I share the same opinion as Oli. If U&L is fine with the migration after a trial run for a month or so, sure, it'll ease the load off us, and that would be great. I don't worry much that users won't be pampered, they will learn to ask better questions eventually. | |
| Mar 8, 2014 at 0:19 | comment | added | slm | Just a comment about the migration of Ubuntu to AU from UL, that was never in the request, if I'm reading it right. I believe this suggestion was to migrate non Ubuntu questions to UL only. I know you've worked hard as a mod here and appreciate your candor on the subject of migration. I'm curious if you'd be completely against this if we were to try it for some period of time and also if we attempted to coordinate this b/w our 2 communities in a more controlled fashion, at least in the beginning? Do you feel this would never be able to work? | |

People would not stop asking questions here, but they will stop asking questions that would end closed. | |
| Mar 7, 2014 at 14:21 | comment | added | Braiam | Oli, throught you say that the incidence of migrations is low, is because we prefer to do not bother moderators with flags and rather we direct users to ask their questions using comments/the close reason. If we had data points of how many questions gets closed by "OT>Not about Ubuntu" it will show us if we really need it. 2) Migrations is not for things that are on topic here and there too, but for things that are off topic here and on topic there (think, any question that is not about Ubuntu, like Mint, BT/kali, even SteamOS) | |
