| Nov 19, 2010 at 14:54 | comment | added | Alessandro Cosentino | @Kaveh: Right. What I meant is that for this kind of questions there seems to be too much redundancy among all the "stackexchanges". Also, many answers look suitable for a broader audience. Anyway, I am not against posting these questions on cstheory, mine was more a proposal for another website. | |
| Nov 16, 2010 at 23:12 | comment | added | Kaveh | @Alessandro Cosentino: I personally don't think being of interest to people outside theoretical computer science makes the question inappropriate for cstheory. This question should be posted somewhere and this site is the natural place to post it as it is the site for theoretical computer scientists who are more likely to have related experience. I also don't see any problem in posting a similar question on MO and having one answer linking to this question. | |
| Nov 16, 2010 at 18:29 | comment | added | Alessandro Cosentino | How are questions of this kind about TCS? They should belong to a more generic "research.stackexchange.com", where we could discuss research practice and advice of everyone's interest. The same goes for Kaveh's question: cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/2953/… . Many answers are not tailored for TCS, they could be in MO as well. | |

| Oct 21, 2010 at 22:33 | comment | added | RJK | @Kaveh: Could you please provide a pointer to the new policy? I only read our official FAQ on CW -- meta.cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/225/…. Anyway, I will flag as you suggest. | |
| Oct 21, 2010 at 18:23 | comment | added | Kaveh | @RJK: I don't think it needs to be CW, not having a right answer is not enough for making it CW. (ps: It seems that the new SE policy on CW says that if you think a question should be CW, you should only flag it for moderator attention, no need to comment that it needs to be CW, in fact such comments are discouraged.) | |
| Oct 21, 2010 at 18:22 | comment | added | Kaveh | @Tsuyoshi: Because the answers are applicable in other situations, and I am not sure that being about the site is a sufficient condition for belonging to meta. | |

| Oct 21, 2010 at 15:41 | comment | added | RJK | I might add that in the revised form it should definitely be CW, since there is no one "right" answer. | |
| Oct 21, 2010 at 14:24 | comment | added | Charles Stewart | I've edited the question to avoid the TCS.SX-only interpretation that most people have chosen not to follow. | |

Amend question to eliminate the meta.tcs.sx interpretation. Please rollback if you find this inappropriate.

| Oct 21, 2010 at 13:06 | comment | added | RJK | I think the question as stated belongs on meta, but if it were edited to say something along the lines of "What do I do when I know the answer to someone's question -- be it on SE, at a conference/workshop, in a blog post, on arXiv, on someone's website, on a research visit, i.e. any venue other than a refereed publication -- particularly when it is a major component of one of my ongoing research endeavours?" then it could have an excellent home here. | |
| Oct 21, 2010 at 12:23 | comment | added | Tsuyoshi Ito | I cannot understand why Suresh and Kaveh think that the question is not specifically about this website, because it plainly asks specifically about what we should do on this website. I opened a thread on Meta: meta.cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/545/… | |

| Oct 21, 2010 at 6:36 | comment | added | Kaveh | @Tsuyoshi: I had the same feeling when I voted to migrate to meta, but after Suresh's comment I changed my opinion. The situation is not specific to the questions on this site and applies to other situations, e.g. questions posted on blogs, or even to off-line discussions. | |
| Oct 21, 2010 at 3:23 | comment | added | Tsuyoshi Ito | Voted to migrate to Meta. From the way it is stated, the question is about how to behave on this website. | |
| Oct 20, 2010 at 22:06 | comment | added | RJK | meta.cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/214/… seems mildly related, but is on meta. | |
| Oct 20, 2010 at 5:18 | comment | added | Suresh Venkat | why should this be on meta ? this is not about the running of the site really. It's a genuine research process question. | |
