| Jul 3, 2012 at 4:27 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | @MarkPhillips - I added some info on the pm software tag wiki info. Advantage: Any edits go through suggested edit queue, which helps reduce spam, yet still allows people to add suggested new tools without question disambiguation or spreading similar information across the site. | |
| Jul 3, 2012 at 4:13 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | @Mark - To see a tag wiki: (1) Mouseover the tag until a big black tooltip appears. (2) Click "info". You'll see a page that looks something like this: pm.stackexchange.com/tags/dsdm/info. It could be a good reference to leave on closed tool recommendation questions. Or we could even put a list of tools in the FAQ? Any other suggestions? | |
| Jul 2, 2012 at 20:07 | comment | added | Mark Phillips Mod | Would the content of the pm-software tag wiki be on the main page ie if someone comes to the site the first time do they see that content? | |
| Jul 2, 2012 at 20:05 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | I was thinking of posting a question about what people would think about moving the list of tools into the pm-software tag wiki, since the Q&A part of the site isn't really designed for lists of things. Do you think this is a fair way to preserve the knowledge and also compile it into a central location? pm-software tag wiki | |

I would like to know about new tools and how they are used by others. I think this might be different than what Mark is referring to. Mark's question targets "tool recommendations", whereas I think you're referring to questions about how to use a tool to solve a real problem.

| Jun 30, 2012 at 22:51 | comment | added | Zsolt | @jmort253 I don't know what kind of tool related questions will pop-up in the future. I read an article which said that we had to let the thinks going because we wouldn't know what was coming. So, for me it's fine to close questions if you feel that they are not appropriate. I'm curios about what will happen. Voting would be nicer, though.The thing is that there are statements on meta what will happen, but I miss the reasoning.For example, I have no idea what Mark's motivation is.Maybe he is looking for better questions, or wants to get of beta... The same goes for the google related question | |
| Jun 30, 2012 at 20:32 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | Also, it would help if you can find an example of one or two really outstanding tool questions so we're on the same page. Thanks again. | |
| Jun 30, 2012 at 20:24 | comment | added | jmort253 Mod | Zsolt, thanks for speaking up. Can you help us define the boundaries of what is/isn't a constructive tool question and what is a not a real question? See this page for closure reason definitions. | |
