| Mar 3, 2010 at 21:20 | comment | added | Cawas | Thanks @fretje I think there aren't enough links to that list of StackExchange sites there! :D | |
| Feb 25, 2010 at 11:34 | comment | added | fretje | @Ivo: True, but I'm quite sure Jeff was talking about only "questions about any website". | |
| Feb 24, 2010 at 19:51 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | @fretje: Having one site that's doing both is ;-) | |
| Feb 22, 2010 at 8:21 | comment | added | fretje | @Jeff: In my opinion, a site to "ask questions about any website on the internet" wouldn't be more ridiculously broad than a site to "ask questions about any software or hardware". | |
| Feb 21, 2010 at 9:06 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | such a site would be ridiculously broad -- "ask questions here about .. uh .. any website on the internet!!" So I hope you can see why we don't want this for SU which is already quite broad in scope. | |
| Feb 20, 2010 at 2:43 | comment | added | OverloadUT | How are the PHP files that make up Wordpress in ANY WAY different than an .exe? In fact in this specific case they are even better than .exes because you get the full source code! | |
| Feb 18, 2010 at 20:34 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | There are no .exe's on the web, so if WordPress goes amish you need some web development skills or knowledge to solve the problem. With software, there's often other software to fix it. On the web, there's Greasemonkey and that requires programming skills! So in my opinion web-related questions are stretching the knowledge domain of SU too far. | |
| Feb 18, 2010 at 19:34 | comment | added | ceejayoz | @Ivo I guess I don't understand how "I'd like to install this WordPress plugin" is any less legitimate a SU question than "I'd like to edit my Outlook signature". It's on the web, sure, but things like Google Docs and Microsoft Office are becoming more similar to each other. | |
| Feb 16, 2010 at 21:05 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | Given the amount of questions that are asked every day that do not involve web apps, I'm inclined to disagree. | |
| Feb 16, 2010 at 21:00 | comment | added | Lance Roberts | @Ivo, we could say NO to social networking, blog and forum apps. We can draw a line somewhere, but right now the baby is being thrown out with the bathwater. | |
| Feb 16, 2010 at 20:48 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | I second the new site idea, if we would allow these questions we would be flooded with Facebook and Wordpress questions... | |
