  • Do you mean migrating subjective questions from StackOverflow or objective ones to it?

  • @Simon Brown: too objective for us and appropriate for they, of course.

  • And what about the reverse? Migrating questions from SO to us?

IMHO, if most of the users on programmers are also on SO, AND if Jeff&co. are ok, there would be no problem in migrating questions to stackoverflow.

I would really like this, along with all the questions being reopened. This way discussion that was halted because of the close could restart, and new answers could flow in for the single "Don't ask here, ask (obscure site)" type answer to the question.

I see two issues though

  • The amount of questions that could be moved is immense. I haven't done any statistics, but I put it in the hundreds
  • What about old questions? Moving a question asked and closed in 08 and reopening here would make little sense.
  • Moving by batch processes would get false positives.

    I think he was talking about the opposite, migrating questions from programmers to stackoverflow

  • and moreover, it would be nice to have some community based and programmatically supported mechanism to migrate questions across the whole SO sites family.

  • @Max: you mean the SE sites family, don't you?
