| Feb 3, 2012 at 17:38 | comment | added | Holocryptic | We regularly close "What is the best way" questions. I don't see how this would fit. | |
| Feb 3, 2012 at 8:48 | comment | added | the-wabbit | While I agree that it should read "mostly okay practice" instead, it is a set phrase now and something people (TM) are looking for. I wanted to emphasize on the organizational aspect of things - questions like "how do I do XY" tend to get several answers illuminating a multitude of aspects of a problem and thus presenting a valuable resource. | |
| Feb 2, 2012 at 21:11 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | I've always found the term "best practice" offensive. There is no such thing. The notion of a "best practice" implies something that simply cannot be bettered, now or ever, and we all know that not to be true. What is considered a good practice now may well be the most abhorred practice next year. It's one of those idiotic terms we need to expunge from the industry. | |

| Feb 2, 2012 at 18:10 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | There are some "universal" bests (like the items on the Limoncelli Test) -- maybe we could crib some items from there and put it into FAQable form. Covering those bullets is almost always org-specific though, which opens up the problems Iain mentioned | |
| Feb 2, 2012 at 17:58 | comment | added | user9517 Mod | In theory there should be only one best for any $practice and it should be easy to point to it. In reality everyone has their own $best so unfortunately I think this will lead to NC or NARQ discussions. | |
| Feb 2, 2012 at 17:51 | comment | added | voretaq7 Mod | I don't think it's clumsy, but it does seem very broad -- What kinds of "best practices" were you thinking of? (If the scope is narrowed I think a better wording will present itself) | |
| Feb 2, 2012 at 11:40 | comment | added | the-wabbit | can somebody please shorten the sentence for me? I can't think of a better phrase but feel that it reads clumsy. | |
