All those are good ideas. I'm afraid that given the fact that we have very little questions per day (and even answers per questions) we could not justify the resources to have a "sister" or "sibling" site, as you point out.

Nevertheless, I think you are in the right track. We can always discuss in Meta what we think should be considered on-topic and what kind of questions we want to receive here.

Sometimes I want to help someone posting a question I see as blatantly off-topic, and I'm afraid I can only post a comment or two to do so. Nevertheless, there is a reason why certain questions might not be a good fit here and their questions might need to be closed.

I think point #4: `Let's all chip in to edit these poorly posed questions to salvage them when possible.` Is the most important one. Although we need "rules" in place to uphold the quality of the content of the site and ensure that we help people **to learn** (as opposed as helping people by providing free translation services or doing someone's homework, for example), we want to have a "people over rules" mindset, and the best way of achieving our goal would be bringing up to speed these users to use the resources of the site effectively.
