| Oct 14, 2010 at 3:34 | comment | added | danlefree | @Virtuosi_Media - That level of site context understanding strikes me as counter-intuitive for someone who (for whatever reason) isn't using a search engine to research an answer, but if there is sufficient moderation in place (and perhaps an incentive for moderators to shunt a question to another SE) I suppose it could be made to work. | |
| Oct 14, 2010 at 3:28 | comment | added | Virtuosi Media | @danlefree - The way I personally would break it down is HTML/CSS coding questions go to Doctype, HTML/CSS questions (like, 'Should I use compression?', 'How do I set up a CDN?') that don't contain code belong here, and everything else (PHP, JavaScript, etc.) belongs on StackOverflow. Web hosting (with a third party) questions belong here, do-it-yourself server setup and management belong on ServerFault. Of course, others may feel differently. | |
| Oct 14, 2010 at 3:02 | comment | added | danlefree | So how does one confirm that a question related to improved production, performance, or management isn't a software development (StackOverflow) or server configuration (ServerFault) question? (As I've been saying, promotion/marketing and business development seem to be the only two topics which aren't in contention) | |
| Oct 13, 2010 at 14:32 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | Because if I say "this is a Q&A about websites," I immediately think end users... like Webapps.SE. | |
| Oct 13, 2010 at 5:33 | comment | added | Virtuosi Media | @Robert - I'm not sure that I agree, but perhaps you could explain why you think 'websites' is more confusing. To me, it seemed the simplest catch-all description that doesn't exclude any aspect of the topics involved. | |
| Oct 12, 2010 at 22:54 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | That almost makes it sound like Web Apps and Webmasters should be one site @Robert | |
| Oct 12, 2010 at 20:57 | comment | added | Robert Cartaino | A Q&A about "websites" is probably more confusing. What would you call it? Websites.stackexchange.com is deceptively wrong. Webbusiness.SE? Proweb.SE? Webanswers.SE? I'm not sure that's heading in the right direction. Hard to say. Tough issue. | |
