| Feb 7, 2014 at 13:21 | comment | added | Enjabain | I went over to WebApps.SE and people are asking lots of questions about Wikipedia, Wordpress, IMDB or even Kayak. I think that their definition is so vague because it would rule out way too many web apps. | |

| Feb 6, 2014 at 17:59 | comment | added | Angelo Fuchs | @Enjabain I think a music player / streaming service is a website, not an app. (I'm in chat currently. Want to come?) | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 17:58 | comment | added | Enjabain | @AngeloNeuschitzer All of the web is written in HTML so that you can Copy and Paste anything you created out of it. Or Print off of it. Wikipedia was definitely designed with the purpose to be interacted with AND edited by anyone. Even if those features are not used by everyone they are appreciated by everyone. That is why it is successful. You can not create anything with a music player/streaming service Web App, would those apps be frowned upon? It is a very broad line here. I think your definitions need to be more clear. | |

@Enjabain They can but they wont because it is not the purpose of the site to edit it. The purpose is to have all the information and show it and be able to edit it. Less than 1% of the users of Wikipedia contribute to it in terms of content and thats fine. Same goes for YouTube (You CAN add content, but over 99% of people are there for consuming not creating). I'm all with you that a wiki (like wikimedia) is software, but the actual site "wikipedia" is not.

| Feb 6, 2014 at 17:09 | comment | added | Enjabain | @AngeloNeuschitzer Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. Look at the SE wikipedia page. A main button at the top is an edit button, for anyone to use. the 5,000,000 Readers can also edit every single page, unless it was deemed too controversial and locked by an editor. The 1,000 editors are Editors they oversee the content created by millions. That is the whole point. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 16:56 | comment | added | Enjabain | @GraceNote I edited my answer added a first paragraph that addresses this. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 16:55 | comment | added | Angelo Fuchs | @Enjabain Also, the line should no be broad (I don't feel it is). If you see a criteria that matches one but not the other please add it so the line gets as thin as possible. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 16:53 | comment | added | Angelo Fuchs | @Enjabain Wikipedia is about reading content. A wiki (be it wikimedia or a different one) is about making content. Wikipedia clearly has a focus on showing content. It has about 1.000 editors and 5.000.000 readers. - Yes it has editing devices but can you easily export your texts from there? Is it intended? No. Same goes for SE. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 16:49 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | @Enjabain The way I look at it again resolves to the goals of the asker. If you ask for "A user system that I can ask questions, users can vote each other up, votes determine privilege levels, [etc.]", then we'd fit here as that is part of the service we provide. But if you ask for say, "Where can I find software that will help me on programming problems", then it wouldn't work because from a functional angle that's not what we do even if it is what we enable to be done. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 16:14 | comment | added | Enjabain | In terms of wikipedia, you are forgetting the whole WIKI side of the website where anyone can create the content using a plethora of functions. Where does stack exchange fall in this division? "On the Line". I'd say it is a pretty Broad Line. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 16:06 | comment | added | Grace Note StaffMod | This is basically what I was planning to cook up. As a site this seems geared towards doing things. Software does things. Sites have things. Web applications do things. We would want to avoid things like "What sites out there have data on X?", but quite frankly if I ask "What software is there that I can do X with?", for a sufficiently scoped X, sometimes it's a web application rather than something I install on my computer. | |
