| Jul 30, 2016 at 20:05 | comment | added | gbjbaanb | @Snowman name and scope - that means certain knock-on effects that might be easier to consider now rather than later. Hence I raised it, I don't mind nothing coming of it, but I'd rather not get shot down for making the comment than being told to keep quiet about everything else. | |
| Jul 30, 2016 at 15:50 | comment | added | user22815 | I am not sure what migration targets have to do with the name and tagline. As Thomas Owens states, this is a separate discussion that we can have outside the context of rebranding. | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 9:55 | comment | added | Thomas Owens Mod | Perhaps. If we have many questions that are off-topic for us and the number of moderator migrations to other sites increases, it's pretty easy to ask for a new migration target. It'll be something we can watch, but it won't happen immediately. Once the stats show a need, we can revisit. | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 9:51 | comment | added | gbjbaanb | @ThomasOwens of course, a corollary of that is that questions only generally get migrated to SO because that's the only one specifically mentioned in the list of migrations. I think many of the others simply get answered here. Hopefully after the name change, the number migrated to SO will be vastly reduced, leaving more DBA/Web/Security ones in the vague spot. I'll see you on the other meta post. cheers. | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 9:41 | comment | added | Thomas Owens Mod | All of that said, I would like to find good ways to inform users of the other sites in the network where they may find additional help to their problem. I made this Meta post of sites related to us. Any comments about other sites do need to make sure that cross-posting is generally discouraged, questions can be on-topic on multiple sites (but the perspective of answers will likely vary), and ensure that people can make an informed decision about what the quality guidelines for the other site(s) are. | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 9:37 | comment | added | Thomas Owens Mod | Moderators will still be able to migrate to any site. However, unless the OP is asking for migration to a different site, it doesn't usually occur unless the question is off-topic. There are plenty of overlapping sites in the network. At one point, we did an experiment with CS, where the same question was asked on both sites and well received. The answers provided were radically different based on the expertise of each community. | |
| Jul 27, 2016 at 9:31 | comment | added | Thomas Owens Mod | I don't see a reason to change the migration options that users have (which is only to Stack Overflow). In the last 90 days, we've migrated 89 questions away from Programmers. Of those, 70 to Stack Overflow, 4 to Workplace, 3 to Programmers Meta, 2 to Unix & Linux, 2 to Open Source, and 1 each to Programming Puzzles & Code Golf, Computer Science, Code Review, Law, Webmasters, Startups, Cross Validated, and Software Recommendations. In order for a migration to be available to users, there needs to be sufficient need and agreement by both communities. I don't see sufficient need right now. | |
