This is an old topic but I see there is an influx of new questions on SE which would be resolved by a bit of googling and some thought. Presumably this is due to the new academic year up in the northern hemisphere.  Would a dedicated site to migrate homework questions to be a useful solution? It would also give lecturers/teachers a place to find who has been getting their homework done for them without having to trawl the internet

Since the  would it make sense to create a Stack Exchange site dedicated to homework help? It wouldn't have to be limited strictly to homework either, possibly including discussions of puzzles and brain teasers and possible approaches to solving them.  I have a programming background so I would be interested in helping with CS or math related homework, discussions of programming contest problems, etc. Topics don't necessarily have to be related to programming either. That's just where my interests are.  What are your thoughts?

My feed shows questions from all SE sites, most of which are irrelevant to me.  I'm interested in physics, math, and programming, topics I find served well by the SE model.  There are many SE communities I have no interest in and even get annoyed when I see the kinds of questions and answers posted (ie, opinion based answers that are passed off as truths).    It would be much better if I could manually add each site I'd like to see questions from.

Curious why  (se site) doesn't have hot questions list on the right.  It also uses the old stackoverflow design.  Why has this site's design and functionality been abandoned (or at least look abandoned?)

There are many links posted in answers, and some in questions, that are either stale or broken.  An example is the change to  on-line documentation this year to do away with separate 'Optional' and 'Core' tasks areas in the documentation - the old links 404 now.  I've fixed a bunch of 'optionaltasks' broken links, but searching for 'coretasks' in Stack&nbsp;Overflow questions returns over 300 matches...  Are there any tools for us to review and fix these - with an emphasis on the fixing - without sifting through completely manually?  Is it time for some refactoring tools for Stack&nbsp;Overflow content, in particular, for links?  Also, I'd be interested to know if there is an analysis of links (as found in the Stack&nbsp;Overflow data dumps) out there. Answer: there is a  of a sample of links and images, but it's getting a bit out-of-date.

Is SE Q&amp;A format relevant for "identification of seldom physical objects observed in real world"?  Questions like "I do not know function of this object (picture) - which purpose does it have?"  In many cases I suppose these question could have civil engineering or handcraft i.e. cultural/historical background. In second case "SE history" might be okay. For first case, I do not know.

It seems that all good questions that could be asked have been already asked. Also it seems all good answers that could appear have already appeared. Existing questions/answers base probably covers most of the programming topics. And, therefore, it is more difficult to ask an interesting question that bothers everybody than, for example, couple of years ago when SO was comparatively empty. Do only I get this feeling or not? Are there any metrics for proving/disproving that it is more difficult to get more reputation on SO as time passes? I want to get rid of the feeling that all questions have been asked and answers have been already answered.  UPD: Maybe Jon Skeet would be great candidate for the experiment of getting statistical data about SO reputation dynamics? We can track dynamics of his reputation over the last (two) year(s). Maybe it could tell us much. Is there any right way to get such data easily?  UPD2: Here is some info about Jon Skeet dynamics:

I frequent many of the SE sites, but sometimes I have a question on a topic that doesn't fit into any of the sites I've already used.  I find it difficult to find the right site (if one exists at all) for my new question. For example, I have a question about ipod functionality.  I'm not sure where to post it, so I looked at all the sites on the bottom, but didn't see anything.  I was on fitness.stackexchange.com at the time, and all of the links for different sites are blue, and they are in no order (or at least no order that I can tell) so it's very hard to parse.  I was looking for something like &quot;apple&quot; or &quot;iOS&quot; but didn't see it. Then I went to the main &quot;directory&quot; (or what I think of as the main directory) -  - again, this is very difficult to parse.  &quot;Bubbles&quot; are different sizes, and again in no specific order.  The only thing I could think to do was to actually do a text search on the web page for &quot;apple&quot;, and it wasn't there so I gave up and came here to ask. The worst part is that once I came here (meta), I glanced at the bottom of the page and immediate saw &quot;apple&quot;!  This link wasn't on the main directory, and wasn't in the collection of links on the other SE site (fitness).  So it was completely luck that I came to meta to ask this question, and the apple site happened to be in the links at the bottom of this page. Am I missing something?  Is there an easier way to find the list of SE sites?  And in general if I have a question, what's the best way to figure out what site to post it in?

Questions like looking for css templates, blog templates, icons ... In general, resources (let's leave the licensing terms aside for now) which you might need when building a project of your own. Where should those questions go?  They're definitely not on-topic on Stack', SuperUser maybe although I doubt it. Webapps? Hmm, probably not.  Is there a place where they would be on-topic on the SE network?

I've checked the migration stats pages on the sites I have access to them  and  and the stats don't reflect the actual migrations at all. It seems to be having trouble attributing the migrations to the sites they came from or were sent to.  Here's the ELL page:    As you can see, there are 190 migrations that apparently come out of thin air (most of them are from ELU). The system is able to correctly attribute a few from ELU and one from French. Similarly, in the away column, the two that were migrated away don't note where they were migrated to. In this case, they were both migrated to ELU.   A few months ago we noticed an . I don't think this is related because these questions aren't from Meta to Main site, they are between sites.

What is the right site on the Stack Exchange network for computer science questions?  None of the answers I can think of are remotely satisfying:   : Even if CS questions are acceptable (, which I think shows they're not getting the right audience), where is the expertise to answer them? It would be . Also a site about computer science would need LaTeX markup, which SO lacks. : Same problems as SO, only worse (and the bulk of CS questions would be  there anyway). : That's for  questions only, so what about the other 99%? : That's , but not the other 95%: e.g.  are ok in the abstract but not more implementation-oriented questions (e.g., not data structures). : the proposal was closed as a duplicate (of what? My impression is that the closers mainly had TCS.SE in mind, but that would be based on a mistaken perception of what TCS.SE is about, as seen above). Many different SE sites for subfields of CS: , , , , , … But why not follow the SO and Math.SE model of one big site?    , but that was before SE2.0 which has completely changed the scope.     On a closely related note, I've searched for a number of keywords where I would expect some activity on a computer science Q&amp;A site. (Note: there is definitely a bias in the keywords related to my background — suggestions for an objective keyword list would be welcome — but I wrote the keyword list before I did any searching.) These are topics that are typically taught in undergraduate or graduate courses (so basic questions about them are out of scope for ). I'm only considering hits in questions, since here I'm looking at the kinds of questions people ask, not what people might mention in passing in answers.   strongly normalizing (0) lambda calculus (43) theorem provers (): coq: (13), agda/agda2: (5), twelf (0), isabelle (0) linear logic () abstract interpretation (16 hits total, few in questions, though most are good CS questions) model checking:  (3, not particularly science-y; some questions without the tag are more science-y) bisimulation (0; 3 answers) basic block (71 hits, ranging all over the board; I haven't counted the questions)   What this tells me is that a lot of subjects that I learnt about in CS courses don't receive any questions. There seems to be a gap between the first two undergraduate years or so (mainly introduction to programming and algorithms), which get reasonable coverage at SO, and graduate students' first research projects, which is where TCS.SE starts.    Computer science has more applied topics that don't fit well on Stack Overflow either. For example,  don't seem to fare well.

I noticed  was on the Programmers.SE for a day or so without any answers.  So, I answered it.  Not long after that, it was migrated to SO.  I was surprised to find that it was not located on the first several pages after being migrated.  It seems that it's .  A large reason for putting new questions at the top of the list is so that enthusiastic answerers can jump at the ones that interest them right out of the gate.  However, a question that's migrated is nearly hidden from these most eager answerers, because the question jumps immediately to a sad page that is normally full of questions that people have either answered or deliberately passed over.  Should newly-migrated questions get a chance at being displayed prominently along with their newly-posted counterparts?  EDIT: To be clear, I am not asking what the current behavior is (which has already been asked and answered in another question). I am asking if the current behavior best serves the SO community.

I don't know how new Stack Exchange sites get opened. I've found some of the new SE sites to be very useless. There are many different and important subjects that are not being addressed by any SE site. I strongly suggest creating a new SE site about unscientific psychology. I have come across many questions that are related to human problems that I would like to ask on an SE site.  How do new SE sites get opened up? Is there a place for voting up new SE sites?

SO has helped me so much in times of need. It is crazy - sometimes I am having a huge issue with a program I'm working on at school or work, and I post it on SO and the answers come quickly and easily. Lots of time it's a typo, while others it's a deep misunderstanding of mine. I wonder how I can fit in here at Stack Overflow. How I can contribute. In fact, I feel such a “beginner”, I don't even know where to look half the time. But I see there is now a place for /Programmers/ which leads me to wonder if there can be a site for beginners - and strictly beginners. Beginners post in Stack Overflow, and only beginners can post answers. Meaning, you must ask a question in the beginners forum in order to answer one. Or something, I'm not sure, I just want a place to connect with others who are just starting out how to learn about programming, and want to get the chance to answer other beginner questions so I can learn more (you learn 40% of what you do and 90% of what you teach). What do you all think about this?

I've been lurking on this site for several months, and as someone studying higher mathematics independently (i.e., outside of a college/institutional setting), this forum has probably been the best reference for gleaning general information about college-level math.  However, recently I've come to realize that few of the major/popular math textbooks tend to have solutions to the exercises contained within them or available for free/online. As someone without access to a professor or peers who can check the accuracy of my answers, working through book solutions becomes very tedious. How do I know if I am getting the right answers and thus understanding the material? I know people are encouraged to post here for help with challenging problems, but it doesn't seem appropriate to post in a forum such as this to simply check the veracity of answers. In addition, certain books (e.g., Pugh's Real Mathematical Analysis) contain hundreds of exercises throughout the text, and it would be neither plausible nor acceptable to constantly ask for help with problem after problem for an entire textbook.  I am not in school nor do I plan to enroll anytime soon, so there's not really an option of waiting until college to talk things over with someone more knowledgeable about mathematics. I am learning math out of pure curiosity and not in preparation for future classes or career goals, and while there are a plethora of resources available to the independent student of mathematics now more than ever before, being able to assess how well the material is being absorbed remains a difficult obstacle to overcome.

Ever since Everything That Happened with Stack Exchange, it's understandable that many users are hesitant to get re-involved on SE.  It's understandable that  are deleting their own accounts, out of protest, or out of frustration, or for many other reasons.  But I have noticed that, at the very least on , where I spend most of my time, questions are getting fewer views and fewer answers, fewer votes are being cast, and fewer questions themselves are being asked.  I've also noticed that flags are taking a long time to be processed, probably because of the fact that Writing.SE .    Are other sites also experiencing inactivity?  Is this in direct correlation with Everything That Happened?  Is it just this site, or are other sites experiencing the same patterns as well?

According to ,  was removed from the list of migration flag sites. As a normal user, what is the best way for me to indicate a question probably needs to be migrated to Programmers.SE? Additionally, it seems redundant to have the list of topics before the list of SE sites to migrate to, especially when both pages suggest  as a desination. Maybe superuser should be removed from the list of 5 sister sites given that you can flag it as a general hardware/software question on the previous page? It seems silly that the list is limited to the top 5 sites when there are a lot more  that questions might need to be migrated to. For reference, the question in question was this one:

I can't seem to find my locked ee.SE question anywhere on the Questions list on EE.se, despite it showing up on the Hot Questions list on SE and the active list on All Questions.  Is this just a bug or something?
