#1: Initial revision
I think this might be a sensible approach: **On-topic** - Questions seeking recommendations for components/tools/materials most suitable for a certain task. - Questions looking for hardware recommendations for components/tools/household appliances etc where some requirements are given. For example: "I'm looking for a hand held drilling machine. I want one that is cordless and can double as screwdriver. Battery life is important, but apart from that I'm a hobbyist and on a limited budget." **Off-topic** - Recommendation questions asking "what is the best-..." without defining "best" or providing sufficient background and details. - Too localized questions. Questions where to find a certain local store, a good sawmill, a local contractor etc are unlikely to be of interest to many future readers.
