Correcting a very minor typo in the 3rd word due to a request in the comments.

Copy edited. Interpreted "site OS X" as meaning "site Ask Different". Used the official names of sites - see section "Proper Use of the Stack Exchange Name" in http://stackoverflow.com/legal/trademark-guidance (the last section).
Jan 4, 2016 at 18:57 comment added Thomas Owens @bluefeet That's good. It's just disappointing when these cool features come out, but I can't use them because the things I'm good at aren't on Stack Overflow. I think that there needs to be an appreciation that not all programmers are on Stack Overflow - they are on Programmers, Project Management, Workplace, Wordpress, DBA, SQA, Drupal. Unix and Linux, and so on. I think I counted over a dozen SE sites that have questions and answers related to programming / software development. More thought needs to be put into how to show off content from all of these sites to serve programmers better.
Jan 4, 2016 at 18:54 comment added Colin Young UX will definitely be a major factor, but I'd think that when I'm reading a developer's "story" it should be fairly clear when I'm reading each item why it is relevant, regardless of the source. If it's user-curated and something doesn't appear to be relevant, that in itself tells me something about that person. And if somebody is confused about Drupal answers in my "story" I'm not sure I want to be bothered by them...
Jan 4, 2016 at 18:52 comment added Taryn @ThomasOwens You raise a very good point which is partly why we brought this to the community before we have a working version. While I don't know, at this time, what it will look like it's something we need to be aware of.
Jan 4, 2016 at 18:49 comment added Thomas Owens @bluefeet We still don't know what it's going to look like for a user when you include content from other sites. I'm concerned about the UX, especially if you link to it and people who aren't familiar with how the Stack Exchange Network works find it. Careers is isolated enough from SO that it seems OK when people see content from multiple sites. But what happens when a story is populated mostly or entirely with non-SO content? Will it be confusing to people? Especially when they click the big SO link at the top, yet large amounts of your story come from Programmers or Drupal?
Jan 4, 2016 at 18:48 comment added Colin Young Yeah, @Thomas Owens' answer wasn't showing when I started writing that...
Jan 4, 2016 at 18:43 comment added Taryn As mentioned in the comment to Thomas Owens you'll be able to include content from other sites.
