A question about "setting up WAMP" would (likely) get closed as off-topic there too. SO has this same 'boundary' issue too (i.e. which questions are on-topic), but more so. | |
| Apr 16, 2013 at 5:12 | comment | added | Magellan | @Andrew You're assuming that the Powers That Be actually care about our opinion of how they handle the FAQ and About pages. They don't, as evidenced by how shabbily even the mods were treated during the early 2012 FAQ rewrite effort. | |

| Apr 12, 2013 at 9:48 | comment | added | user11604 | My take is that SF is for 'IT professionals' (Note that Developers, Systems Admins, Desktop Technicians and Help Desk staff are all IT professionals!), SU is for amateurs (desktops, servers, networks, etc), SO is for devs. | |
| Apr 12, 2013 at 5:21 | comment | added | Andrew B | Your thought process is correct, but the OP is focusing on the fact that the FAQ page is inconsistent with the other pages in explicitly forbidding the development environment case. | |
