Plugin-specific questions can certainly be acceptable, but what's developing with this particular Plugin is, IMHO, clearly outside the scope and intended purpose of WPSE. Those questions, taken collectively, are clearly a support-forum-by-proxy for the Plugin. | |

Question: how are the linked questions not too localized; that is: what benefit do those questions provide to the WPSE/WordPress community at-large? | |
