| Mar 18, 2014 at 23:30 | comment | added | terdon | The issue discussed here is whether there should be an option to migrate to Unix & Linux when users vote to close questions. This is a feature of many other SE sites but at the moment, no such choices are enabled here. Since you don't have enough reputation to vote to close on any site, you have never seen it which is why you have misunderstood the question and are discussing something completely different which is not relevant to Braiam's suggestion. | |
| Mar 15, 2014 at 17:16 | comment | added | Braiam | Again, you are discussing policies of the site such as on/off topic, which is not the main propose of this question. Your POV is just that we shouldn't, fine. Why? I don't know. You want to change the underlying causes that made me suggest this, ask another question. | |
| Mar 15, 2014 at 17:13 | comment | added | Syborgia Alphas | "Activate migration paths to Unix and Linux, should we?" The issues I've posed are on topic! They are in regards to circumstances that need to be considered - in the "should we" part of the question. I have no interest in being a moderator. However, my opinion was asked, when this question popped up -- so this is my ---OPINION--- . If you don't like it then -- fine. | |

| Mar 15, 2014 at 17:02 | comment | added | Syborgia Alphas | When tracing a bug; a bug may be specific to Ubuntu. However, it also may be a larger Debian issue (Ubuntu is a Debian branch of Linux). This situation, is by definition "off-topic" but useful to the community in locating and resolving issues. If these groups are not for debug and community support (which does in certain cases result in "off-topic" questions). Then this should be clearly stated. | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 13:33 | comment | added | Braiam | Ok, apparently you have not read the help center pages. It specifically says that any question that is not about Ubuntu or using software in Ubuntu is off-topic. Full stop. If you want to change that, you better ask another question. | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 13:22 | comment | added | Syborgia Alphas | Further, since links and tags can be used to link issues together, migration paths become a mute point. Remember, not everyone in this community is an expert. We come here for community support! Not administrative abuse! | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 13:20 | comment | added | Syborgia Alphas | I was speaking generally, migration whether in part (single topic) or in whole defeats the purpose of community based support. Individual communities (like AskUbuntu and U&L) have individual interests (and concerns) and mutual interests. With this in mind determining what's "Off Topic" is highly subjective. | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 13:13 | comment | added | Syborgia Alphas | However - (just a thought) - the two communities can be linked, by the user via link to questions in either AskUbuntu or U&L I've done this on the FFMPEG issue casting a wider net, trying to determine whether an FFMPEG issue is a Ubuntu specific issue or a larger Linux/bug issue. | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 13:13 | comment | added | Braiam | We are not talking into merging anything. Please, read what are migrations paths | |
| Mar 14, 2014 at 13:09 | comment | added | Syborgia Alphas | AskUbuntu is needed to deal with the differences between Ubuntu and standard Linux. Removing, or merging, into U&L (which serves Unix & Linux - generally) would be a disservice to those trying to resolve issues specific to Ubuntu, and not Linux in general. | |
