My point is, though, that some of the divisions seem not much more justifiable than that - Ubuntu.SE vs Linux.SE anyone? I'm not saying those peoples opinions don't matter, but that each decision to divide a community like that up as as much potential to harm as it does to help. Especially if people end up confused as to where they need to ask a question or find their questions being migrated too often. It's a balancing act, I understand that. My concern is are we getting the balance right? | |

There are some clear divisions in topics, e.g. SO, SU, SF. but some are less clear; e.g. SF/SO vs. webmasters for example but still worthwhile (despite my reservations). Some are, imo, distinctions made purely for the sake of creating a walled garden to avoid talking to them, whoever the "them du jour" are in any given example. If you want to break things down to silly levels then why is there not a Win 2008 SE? & a Win 2008r2 SE? And a new one in the pipeline for when the service pack for W2008r2 comes out? | |
| Jan 30, 2011 at 22:42 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | ok, let's take this one step farther -- why have more than one site on the entire internet? Isn't that unnecessary fragmentation? Wouldn't it be easier to find someone if every human being in the world was a Facebook user? Why have Server Fault when we could just fold those topics into Stack Overflow? | |
