My concern about creating one or more off-topic forums are:

(1) The need to spend time reading and moderating them,

(2) The effects on database search performance (unless we mass prune them from time-to-time, which is possible with vB),

(3) The possibility that good technical discussions will happen in off-topic areas and then we will lose them if we mass prune the off-topic threads out of the data-base from time-to-time.

Many popular forums have off-topic areas and after a while (at least in some forums) the off-topic posts become the largest forums.

BTW: I've been very happy with the quality of the Q&A and the technical expertise of the moderators, who are going great! We are really lucky to have such a great team of nice people who enjoy helping others.

Do you think an off-topic area will be benefical to the growing community?

I was thinking about expanding the 'Special Interest Topics' Area based on special interests of the users.... expanding in a technical direction with tutorials, etc.....

How does that sound?

NAME
TM::Analysis - Topic Maps, analysis functions SYNOPSIS
use TM::Materialized::AsTMa; my $tm = new TM::Materialized::AsTMa (file => 'test.atm'); $tm->sync_in; Class::Trait->apply ($tm, 'TM::Analysis'); print Dumper $tm->statistics; print Dumper $tm->orphanage; DESCRIPTION
This package contains some topic map analysis functionality. INTERFACE
statistics This (currently quite limited) function computes a reference to hash containing the following fields: "nr_toplets" Nr of midlets in the map. This includes ALL midlets for topics and also those for assertions. "nr_asserts" Nr of assertions in the map. "nr_clusters" Nr of clusters according to the "cluster" function elsewhere in this document. orphanage This computes all topics which have either no supertype and also those which have no type. Without further parameters, it returns a hash reference with the following fields: "untyped" Holds a list reference to all topic ids which have no type. "empty" Holds a list reference to all topic ids which have no instance. "unclassified" Holds a list reference to all topic ids which have no superclass. "unspecified" Holds a list reference to all topic ids which have no subclass. Optionally, a list of the identifiers above can be passed in so that only that particular information is actually returned (some speedup): my $o = TM::Analysis::orphanage ($tm, 'untyped'); entropy This method returns a hash (reference) where the keys are the assertion types and the values are the individual entropies of these assertion types. More frequently used (inflationary) types will have a lower value, very seldomly used ones too. Only those in the middle count most. SEE ALSO
