What should our About contain?

Question

As suggested on http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/07/the-7-essential-meta-questions-of-every-beta/, we should define our own site.

Some guidelines are already provided on the about

What to ask

• Specific issues with Italian language
• Real problems or questions that you’ve encountered

What not to ask

• Anything not directly related to Italian language
• Questions that are primarily opinion-based
• Questions with too many possible answers or that would require an extremely long answer

but I think we should gather here other guidelines whenever they are discussed and we come to a community agreement.
