A few weeks ago, the Open Science proposal finally went to commitment. When the site initially was proposed, Jeanne Holm wrote:
It takes a HUGE amount of effort to lift up and get people involved in a new Stack Exchange, and if there's a way to work together, that would be great!
If there is a way for the Open Science topic to be asked on Open Data, it might make sense to direct people on the Area 51 proposal to this site. On the other hand, if the users of this site have not special interest of expertise in Open Science, the proposal won't have much impact on this site.
So I was hoping someone would look through the example questions on the Open Science proposal and let me know roughly how many fall into the following categories:
- On-topic on Open Data
- Currently off-topic, but with a reasonable change in scope could be welcome on Open Data
- Unrelated to Open Data
If the overlap is big enough or if the topic space of Open Data could be expanded, we might be able to save a lot of effort needed to get a new Stack Exchange site started.
