Should we allow UI/UX questions in our community?
A significant fraction of software developers also needs to make some UI/UX-related decisions. I am wondering if we should such questions in the Software Development community.
Based on feedback for this question, I have updated What type of questions can I ask here?.

Yes
I would allow UI/UX questions with some limitations. Examples:
-
on topic - UI/UX questions related to an interface that also involves some programming (e.g. web interfaces)
-
offtopic - questions about choosing fonts for banners or graffiti, color to be used in some ads etc.
I think it should be on-topic with the following distinction:
On-topic
- Technical questions regarding to UI, including mark-up language syntax, how to set properties in RAD tools, how to use graphic libraries etc.
- Algorithm questions for how to draw graphics, including at some extent the math and physics behind it.
Off-topic
- Aesthetic questions - what looks best, color choices, graphic design and similar mostly subjective questions.
