<p>If you see the comments to the question on <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/4025/28">MLE for Naive Bayes in R</a> you will notice that there is confusion about whether R questions should go to Stackoverflow or Stats Analysis. I am of the opinion that for the sake of consistency we should (in cooperation with the Stackoverflow community) adopt one consistent policy. Towards this end, I propose the following policy:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>R questions should be asked on Stats Analysis.</p></li>
<li><p>Any future R questions on SO should be migrated to Stats Analysis.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>The above policy will achieve several objectives.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Posters will not have to post twice.</p></li>
<li><p>Cross-posting will not happen thus avoiding splintering the knowledge base for R across two sites.</p></li>
<li><p>Less noise in comments both at Stackoverflow and at our site.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>What do you think? </p>

<p>Once <em>we</em> reach <em>consensus</em> on this issue perhaps we can ask the same question on meta.SO to ask what they wish to do about this issue.</p>
