Gareth Rees is correct about it being impossible to migrate directly due to our beta state. Until we graduate, we'll have to continue closing and/or flagging for migration.
I don't see this entirely as a bad thing, though. This will give us the opportunity to get used to knowing exactly which questions belong on SO. Sure, it's already simple enough (not working, understanding code snippets, etc.), but some questions can still be tossed out by them. Essentially, the question has to
- be on-topic for SO and
- not be crap.
Just because they may sometimes dump their trash here (usually due to not knowing exactly what we allow), doesn't mean we have to do the same. ;-)
Although this may not be an issue for us per se, there's the possibility of migrating an off-topic question that was already originally asked over there. In other words, someone tells the OP to post the question here instead of flagging it for migration. So, we see that it's off-topic, then send it over there... and they have an exact duplicate. Not a big deal I suppose, but what I'm saying is that both sites need to be familiar with the target site's FAQ. There's too many people to count on that, though I'm not sure if a moderator needs to be flagged for each migration request.
