We have been through this dozens and dozens of times. The topicality of this site is brutally clear. Let's take a look. If you're not signed in and go to the front page you see this: ![Front Page Graphic][1] OK, fair enough. Still, some people may miss that. I understand how that could happen. Next, they click "Ask a Question". What are they presented with there? (I'll split this one up) ![AQ Number 1][3] Great - they read again that this is for professionals and that if they're not in that category, they'll have better luck at SU. What's next? ![AQ Number 2][4] OK, this is some advice many people would do well to take. Next: ![AQ Number 3][5] Ooh, this is a doozy. Lots of great information here on how a potential question asker can ask a good question. And finally, a little causal contract with the asker: ![AW Number 4][6] So by the time they ask a question, they've agreed that they have read and will consider the all of the above information when formulating a question. AND THEN THEY CONTINUE TO ASK HOW TO SAVE A FILE IN THEIR @%(@(%!$ TEXT EDITOR! That person? Their question should not get migrated. No way. On the other hand, if an end user comes here and asks a well-formulated question, yah, it should absolutely be migrated. I honestly don't know how we can "help amateurs get their way to SU / Unix SE" more than we already are. If they make it as far as asking an OT question here, they have **already** shown that they couldn't care less about the community they're asking in, the people that will be answering the question, nor the greater SE goal of building a large, well-organized database of excellent questions and excellent answers. > My suggestion were to improve mechanisms to help them to find their > way to the correct site. What would those suggestions be?
