[3dem] Stackexchange ?

Thu Jun 7 02:34:11 PDT 2018

Hi Pablo,

Thanks for your first initiative. I think indeed it will be good to try again.
Regarding your doubt with getting notified of new questions. You can follow specific tags and get notified by e-mail or through the app when a new question mentioning the tag arises.
https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/121207/392791

We need a critical mass of people following tags. This should be possible to achieve: we can present the concepts to the most active repliers of the 3D-EM mailing list and I am sure they will be happy to do it. I already look forward to following resolution-measurement tag!
Active repliers that give meaningful answers are rewarded with kudos. Those replying to many questions but with low quality answers do not get that many kudos. This may sound like a joke but under the DORA declaration being a strong player with lots of reputation points in the stackexchange could be used as an achievement for grant applications. Scientists applying for jobs could also demonstrate their team-player capabilities with such a metric.

I suggest you and I discuss in private the planning of the new action. Anyone interested to get involved in this please contact me. When things are ripe, we will let the community know through this and other channels.

Best
Ben

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

We could coordinate a new action. I think we failed because many people did not know what stackexchange was about and so did not participate to the test phase. Who initiated the first action? Can this person start a new action? Else I am happy to start it.

If everyone in our mailing list is informed about what stackexchange is and if we send enough reminders before a new test is launched and during the test period, we will for sure make it through. 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.

Since it is GRC week, I suggest that someone makes a short presentation about stackexchange there, unfortunately I can't do it as I am not there... (for more impact, this has to be incorporated in the skit!)  I'll  be at the tomography conference though and I am happy to make some promotion there.

    Apparently so. We did have enough followers, but not 40 questions with

    score of 10 or more, I believe, so the Area51 admins(?) gave it

    rejected status after the proposal was idle for 30 days (or something).

    It's also pity that they didn't even archive the proposal, it would

    have been helpful for refining a new proposal.
