Feature-Request request / Ideaidea:

Sometimes a question seems to fall in between two sites. An example might be phpPHP email questions, could be the code or could be the php.ini which often ends up being a sysadminsystem administrator. So

So my idea is that there could be a check box to show it on another site as well. ItIt would be grayed out on the other site and only visible to people with high repreputation points, and they could approve it, and then everyone would be able to see it on the other site as well. MaybeMaybe they could add answers, or maybe it would just be visible and people could go to the other site to add the answers.

So for example, if the question was posted on stackoverflowStack Overflow, there could be a 'show on serverfault'Server Fault' check box. Which server-fault moderatorsWhich Server Fault moderators / high repreputation points users could vote to be shown there as well. TheseThese could also maybe be community-wiki so simplify the repreputation points question.

One downside I can think of is that maybe this might create more confusion about what to put what where worse, and maybe that would outweigh any benefits.

Maybe it has been thought of, but I just thought I would share the idea...
