Ok, we know the golden rule of migration:
Well, there are some questions that meet our (SR) criteria of a good question for recommendation:
But, are we going to welcome them? Should we allow those sites to have migration paths (I know that during beta probably we would not have those)? What we will do with those gems of information that nobody likes?
I see no reason with allowing the site to be used as a migration path for the entire network as required, provided the content that is migrated over here meets our requirements - many of the one to two line questions that get asked on other sites are simply so far off the pace of what we're describing as our quality level that they would just immediately get closed here anyway, and in those cases, the question should be dealt with by the site that it was originally asked on.
However, we need the rest of the network to know...
Sending high quality questions that are off topic on the site it was asked on but that meet our strict requirements over to us is to be encouraged. Migrating bad content that doesn't meet our requirements is not.
During the beta phase, fortunately, we won't have any community migration path, only migrations by moderators and reposts.
To all moderators of other Stack Exchange sites, and users who would recommend reposting or migration to Software Recommendations:
We have question quality guidelines. Please:
In a nutshell, a good recommendation question must have both a stated purpose and objective requirements. If a question lacks either element, we don't want it. Additionally, all the usual Stack Exchange rules apply, in particular questions must have clear requirements and must not be too broad.
