Office suites category
A site for office suites was proposed here: https://meta.codidact.com/posts/277548. This proposal is still in early stages and unlikely to get enough support to emerge as a site of its own in the near future. Meanwhile, all such questions will end up here and we already know they will be plenty. **I propose that we create a new category "Office suites"** for these kind of questions. The reason is that we simply suspect that these questions will be numerous and therefore a separate category would serve to not drown out all other questions. At this point, the majority of the questions already on the site are about office suites. [Software Development](https://software.codidact.com/) wishes to migrate a considerable amount of questions regarding Excel formulas etc here, where such questions would fit in better. When this site becomes active enough, the Office suites category can perhaps emerge into a site of its own. Examples of what the category can contain, quoted from the above meta proposal: > - MS Office > - a subset of Google's G Suite that includes Docs, Sheets, etc > - Libre office and open office > - WPS office > - Zoho office, etc. To translate this to abstract terms, it would mean: - Word processing programs - Spreadsheet programs - E-mail clients - Publishing and presentation programs - Misc other programs that companies list as part of their "suite": simple DBMS, VoIP and similar. Please vote on this question up/down if you agree or disagree with this proposal. --- Things to discuss regarding overlapping scopes with Software Development: - Is VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) on topic here? Or other such simplified, built-in script or programming languages? - Is DBMS design and SQL questions on topic here? Example: MS Access. Depending on if programs like Photoshop count as part of a "suite", then there is possibly and overlaps with Photography & Video as well.
