This question just came to the top of the front page: When do non TEM waves occur?
This is a purely physics-based question. At this minute, the SE 1.0 site is gone and the area51 beta is not up yet. However, the SE 1.0 site was up when the question was asked.
There are three things that I would like to feel out with the community in dealing with bumped questions:
- How strict should we be about the topics we allow to appear on the site?
- Old questions will get bumped to the front page, and see more activity on occasion. Is this desirable?
- What cleanup should be done on old Chiphacker questions which are off-topic?
Note: For #2, we might need to draw a distinction between people (like archgoon, in this case) who contribute value to the question, and those who earn edit/retag privileges and start bumping lots of questions.
