@John - No, this is good. The other startup sites will have to decide what direction they'll go, whether to merge their content with this proposal or to move to another Q&A solution. This proposal is a good one - let's make it happen! – Adam Davis Jun 17 '10 at 2:00

@John: Nah - what @Adam said. SE 1.0 sites will need to decide what to do. Perhaps one of them could choose to migrate to SE 2.0 and become the site for such a proposal. Consider my own proposal as an example to bring an SE 1.0 site into the fold: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1721/… – Chris W. Rea Jun 17 '10 at 2:38

This is a bit too open-ended and subjective for my liking. – DisgruntledGoat Jun 29 '10 at 15:40

Some explanations of what makes on- or off-topic. This seems fairly broad, but on-topic. – IAbstract Jun 30 '10 at 17:34

+1 , Business is sort-of a subjective topic full of ambiguity but this is definitely on topic. – Aiden Bell Jul 5 '10 at 13:42

Why would this be off-topic !? – Danny Jul 8 '10 at 20:01

	On topic and I like! Answers will dispel the usual myths here. – Aiden Bell Jul 5 '10 at 13:41
	Ironically, big companies are now looking for ways to make their company look small and personal... :) – Cyclops Jul 16 '10 at 18:22

In my opinion this question is too localized. – Alexandre Jun 25 '10 at 18:36

Localized, yes, but I believe a necessary addition to the list of questions. – IAbstract Jun 30 '10 at 17:38

I think that this is too localized, however if it is allowed I think that we will need to be able to tag questions but country/region too. – sixtyfootersdude Jul 16 '10 at 17:20

I'm torn on if this would be a better on-topic question if it used the word accountant instead of bean counter... – David Boike Jul 1 '10 at 21:10

@David I've done a stint in business school and personally don't have much respect for accountants but I'll change it to be reasonable. :) – Evan Plaice Jul 15 '10 at 8:45

Awesome off-topic example. People will ask to vet their business ideas but should be off-topic. – Robert Cartaino Jun 17 '10 at 2:32

This is an actual question I heard at an entrepreneurship convention. - I think it emphasizes the need to restrict the site to technology related start-ups. – Danny Jul 9 '10 at 17:04
