• Parsing tags may be the most useful meta-data to decide if a question is on topic; however, suggesting that a question be migrated after adding a tag could become quite distracting. If new users are uncertain of how to tag a question, they may start typing simply to see the new awesome tag suggestion popup. Suggesting a site after each tag would become very distracting and negatively affect the user's experience. Hence, if the question belongs on a different site, the migration recommendation should appear after clicking 'Post Your Question'.

• Providing a means to seamlessly migrate a question will lessen the burden placed on the moderators to migrate a question.

• A classifier system won't be perfect. So it shouldn't force the user to migrate a question.

• Education is important, so if this were implemented, I think the users should see the bulleted list of on-topic from the faq for both the current site and the suggested sites so that they can learn where to place the questions in the future.

• Migrated tags won't work, so if the user decides to migrate a question, they should be prompted to retag a question as some sites use one tag naming convention and some sites user another.
