| Sep 21, 2022 at 13:53 | comment | added | Peter Mortensen | A different spin on the rules for the beginner site: Split Stack Overflow into Junior and Senior sites. E.g., "All questions would be automatically deleted after two weeks, unless three users with close/reopen rights vote to migrate the question to the senior site." | |
| Feb 4, 2022 at 12:45 | comment | added | Peter Mortensen | Jeff Atwood agrees: "There needs to be a beginner version of Stack Overflow." | |

| Nov 1, 2019 at 19:11 | comment | added | deceze Mod | Fair enough, but I don’t think the subject matter lends itself to the same kind of split, whether amicable or not. Personally I would hardly ask anything at the new expert site. That’s a small sample to extrapolate from, but I believe the volume would likely be very low on an experts-only site. It’s questionable whether it can reach sustainable levels. | |

| Nov 1, 2019 at 18:51 | comment | added | Pekka | @deceze this would be an amicable split, though, ultimately to prevent separatist movements (which I agree would probably not work). Much like with the English Learners site (with some independence on top). A complement to main SO, a new home to those expert programmers who want to mainly build a high quality encyclopedia and are frustrated by the main site's "open to everyone" focus, mentoring, hand-holding etc. Like University (which has barriers to entry, which is fine) vs. school (which has a much greater focus on serving everyone). Not a clone in competition to the site and company | |
| Nov 1, 2019 at 18:21 | comment | added | deceze Mod | Frankly speaking, these kinds of separatist movements is likely what will do the site in in the end. | |
| Nov 1, 2019 at 18:10 | comment | added | deceze Mod | There have been untold numbers of SO clone projects. None of them ever took off. It won’t be any different with this split. Only one will survive. If miraculously both survive, the second utopia version will eventually succumb to the same issues. That’s how things go. Running away isn’t sustainable, it’s just prolonging the inevitable. | |
| Nov 1, 2019 at 17:11 | comment | added | Pekka | @gnat I requested it a while back - thinking that it's specific to SO, and doesn't offer anything to the rest of the network, so it should be on SO's Meta. | |
| Nov 1, 2019 at 16:46 | comment | added | gnat | this looks worth being featured (though I don't quite understand why it was migrated from MSE) | |
