| Nov 28, 2015 at 15:32 | comment | added | goldilocks Mod | WRT to the Pi and similarities to other predominantly linux based boards, what makes them similar vs, e.g., Arduino, is that they are predominantly linux based. And there is already a Unix & Linux; expanding in that direction is basically saying we are for "dev board hobbyists who don't want to use U&L". At that point we might as well take on python programming for "dev board hobbysts who don't want to use Stack Overflow" (which hopefully clarifies why such an SE site makes little or no sense). | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 15:32 | comment | added | goldilocks Mod | My point with the other question was just to indicate that there have been ongoing problems trying to create a broader site -- note that was the second attempt at an "Embedded" -- and why I don't think it would be productive for us to take on those problems here. | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 15:05 | comment | added | ave | @goldilocks the question you linked is very different, but very similar. RPi and OPi are like green and red apples, while RPi and arduinos are like apples are oranges (still, both are vegetables). Most cons stated there wouldn't happen if you allowed RPi-like hardware, as they are still apples. | |
| Nov 28, 2015 at 14:56 | comment | added | goldilocks Mod | Short answer: That was the scope defined for the original site and it has not changed. WRT where to go then, yes it is an issue -- Please read: meta.raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/567/… While on the surface I think expanding our scope may seem like a good idea, in practice I am not so sure and so have never made an effort to push for it personally. Steve, who's been a mod here since the beginning, has more thoughts about this which over the past year I've come to see the wisdom of. | |
