Questions that stretch the scope are important, but I also think we need a base position to work from - if we go into public beta without it, it could easily turn to being a close-fest, with people closing as they see fit rather than to any specific guideline. | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 15:54 | comment | added | Andy | Part of defining "hardware", for the purposes of this site, is determining what is and isn't on topic. I find it easier to have such discussions when an actual question has already been posted. It allows discussion of exactly why such a question does or doesn't fit. Defining "hardware" is important, but I think questions that push the edges of that definition are also important in defining "hardware". To that end, though, I agree with your definition and determination that the question is on topic. | |
