What is the Q&A category for?
We seem to ask a lot of questions in Meta, which sort of defeats the purpose of the Q&A category. Is it intended for subjective quesitons (of which this site gets few), or requests for tips, or something else?

It's for questions about golfing and challenges.
From the comments underneath the original proposal:
@Moshi from the discussion in 19th Byte it sounded like the community could have questions about golfing and related topics that aren't themselves challenges. They can tell us what they need; I'm in no position to judge. — Monica Cellio about 1 month ago · edit · delete
@MonicaCellio That sounds correct. Would probably want: Q&A to ask about golfing, challenges for, well, challenges, sandbox, and meta. — moony about 1 month ago · edit · delete
I don't know exactly what type of questions those might be (I'm not a golfer or programmer), but the word on the street is that back Somewhere Else there were questions about challenges (that weren't meta) that weren't challenges themselves. The Q&A category is meant to give those questions a space.
If it turns out to be superfluous, it can be removed or hidden, but for now it's there because there was a want for it when the community was launched.
