It's quite like making software for the platform where the
users are.
Not quite, if you split up then each community might have
stronger social bonding, but in terms of aggregating helpful
advice you will be worse off. It would be suitable for geographic
groups (e.g. for a country/city).
For instance slashdot is very poor in social boding terms, but
much better than the dlang forums for aggregating helpful advice.
So the "learn" forum is beneficial socially, but does erode the
slashdot presence.
