[3dem] Stackexchange ?

[Pablo Conesa]

HI I did, and yes we failed. As Johannes said we met the first 
requirements (followers) but we failed on the questions.

I'm happy to start it again. I really think it would be a nice resource 
if succeeds.

This is a summary of what need to be achieved (from 
https://area51.stackexchange.com/faq):


*Once I propose a site, what happens next?*
A site goes through several phases before it launches to the public. 
Each stage is designed to improve the site and build up momentum and 
support.

Interested parties propose and discuss *sample questions* to define what 
the site is — and is not — about.
Users are asked to *commit to participate* in the site to assure that 
the site will have enough participation — we don't want to create ghost 
towns.
The site is launched for a beta period to seed it with questions, 
develop the FAQ, appoint temporary moderators, and refine its design.
If a site reaches critical mass, it becomes a full member of the Stack 
Exchange Network.
If a proposal loses momentum, it may be re-evaluated or merged with 
similar proposals. Proposals with insufficient activity are subject to 
removal. Deleted proposals can be re-proposed anew by users with renewed 
energy and, hopefully, better resources to bring it to commitment.

My only doubt about it is that it requires to actively, got to the site 
to answer the questions...unless I'm missing a "notification" setting to 
simulate a "digest" mode.

All the best, Pablo

Scipion Team.

With the many followers of our mailing list it won't be a problem to get 400 votes up. We could even gather a set of questions before starting a new action and only launch the action when we are ready.
