<p>Given the various issues regarding handling of software-related questions (see <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/q/1765/1390">here</a> for one jumping-off point), can we curate a set of <em>house rules</em> that</p>

<ol>
<li>encapsulates what Question the community would like to see remain on CrossValidated (CV)</li>
<li>provides explicit guidance for users and moderators alike when considering flagging for migration or migrating Questions to StackOverflow (SO)</li>
</ol>

<p>I have made an initial attempt, see my Answer below, but as that is classed Community Wiki please feel free to make edits to it as well as adding additional Answers that might act as signposts for discussion or jumping-off points to discuss particular aspects of suggested wording.</p>

<p>Note that the base text was lifted from the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic">What topics can I ask about here?</a> page.</p>

<p>I decided to reproduce the entire document from the above link as it contains a lot of useful material that we should maintain.</p>
