| Mar 27, 2013 at 16:48 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @Kortuk: sure, could be. I do understand you can't instantly make EE friendlier for Arduino beginners. I'm just saying that I think this issue will, as long as it persists, make people wish there were a place that was friendlier to Arduino newbies. | |
| Mar 27, 2013 at 15:32 | comment | added | Kortuk | @PaulD.Waite I am not sure that is why the site gets proposed, I think it is primarily proposed by those that have never ever visited EE. Do I want it to nicer there for any beginner, yes, can I cause instant change, no. | |
| Mar 27, 2013 at 15:12 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @Kortuk: "saying our users are currently being too rude is not a good argument". Fair enough, but if the rudeness-to-Arduino-beginners issue isn't fixed, then an Arduino site will keep on getting proposed on Area 51. | |
| Feb 13, 2013 at 5:09 | comment | added | Kortuk | @AnindoGhosh As we discussed, I feel that this is an invalid reason to make another site. If someone else now forms an electronics design site can they use our community not pulling in beginners due to the users being rude as a reason to not recognize their site as a duplicate. I will accept your other points as requiring thought and I am not convinced either way right now, but we are always attempting to help grow our community from being rude and saying our users are currently being too rude is not a good argument. | |
| Feb 9, 2013 at 4:32 | comment | added | Anindo Ghosh | @CamilStaps I have directed several non-EE Arduino beginners to EE.SE, and the definitive response from each single one of them is that their questions, or existing questions they would like answers to, have been met by our EE.SE community with such rudeness and disdain that they refuse to come back to be talked down to. I'm on the EE.SE site all day every day, I see this happen way too often. | |

| Feb 4, 2013 at 9:34 | comment | added | user72809 | I totally disagree. Any arduino enthusiast can come to EE. We'll see. | |
| Feb 4, 2013 at 9:29 | comment | added | asheeshr | @CamilStaps There are not enough Arduino users within the network. However, the Arduino community itself is in thousands and it is those users that this site will get onboard. The intention is not to poach but to generate a user base. We might loose some answers, but with EE, we are loosing many more users. | |
| Feb 4, 2013 at 6:33 | comment | added | user72809 | The thing is not that there aren't enough people for arduino. The problem is that (almost) all arduino questions are on-topic on EE. I've never used arduino and have answered some of these questions. I wouldn't have done that on a specific arduino site as I'm not an arduino enthusiast. So you're losing answers with this approach! | |
