- I wondered what the scope of the Linux Systems site was. So I went to the help center. There's no obvious
- page in there that explains what this site is. For instance, is this site accepting questions about programming on Linux? Instead, the limited information that exists, is hidden under "FAQ", which is confusing.
- Another example: on Software CD, under FAQ, all we find about the site's scope, is this:
- > Software Development is about all aspects of creating software -- programming, design, architecture, testing, tools, and more
- That's not nearly specific enough.
Every community should have an entry into the help center, detailing specifically what this site is about, and how it's different from the other sites.- Even though there's limited information under the FAQ, these pages aren't even uniform across the sites. For example, on Meta Codidact, it's under "Codidact Meta FAQ", not "FAQ". It also doesn't help that Meta CD has the "Guidance" and "Site information" boxes flipped from all the other communities.
