Listening to the plan for the proposal-heavy StackExchange site creation process on the podcast, it seemed to me that it relies on people being super motivated in desperately wanting a StackExchange created for their topic.
I wonder where this drive is supposed to come from for people who are indifferent to the StackExchange software because they haven't participated in sister sites much (or at all).
I mean, I'm even very familiar with and enjoy using the software (StackOverflow), yet I can't be bothered using SuperUser for my general tech needs, let alone creating a site of my own.
- cruise02 17y agoIt isn't supposed to come from people who haven't participated in sister sites. They're taking ideas from within the existing communities for a reason. They're going to take a handful (or several) from those ideas. Those sites will attract more people in those new niches. In the next round of proposals there will be a bigger pool of users to propose what the next sites should be.
