  • Should durable comp.lang.postscript questions be moved to StackExchange or StackOverflow?

    From jdaw1@jdawiseman@gmail.com to comp.lang.postscript on Sat Dec 16 05:36:05 2023
    From Newsgroup: comp.lang.postscript

    Question asked at https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/395491/usenet-should-good-questions-be-ported-to-stackexchange
    in which we few remaining at comp.lang.postscript might be interested.
    Since about 2005 IrCOve posted on comp.lang.postscript. Some of these posts have been rCysmallrCO questions or answers, some have been more substantial, such as the two linked from
    https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/179000/b%c3%a9zier-approximation-of-archimedes-spiral/4810490#4810490
    https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.postscript/c/3RIq0Jnwrbo https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.postscript/c/B23RW2QpIjU
    As has been reported, Google Groups is soon to cease providing write access to UseNet, and it is not implausible to believe that read access will later be lost.
    -+Should I port across updated versions of the questions of durable interest? That wouldnrCOt quite be copy-paste, because errors can be fixed, answers given, etc, but it would not be fundamentally new tellings of new questions. Some of these might belong in Math, some in Software Engineering, some elsewhere.
    https://math.stackexchange.com/
    https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com
    What would be best for StackExchange, what would be best for its readers?
