@TildalWave OK, but the topic of the remote sensing proposal is different from the current beta site. I don't think it would drain audience from this site. It will just encourage the ones who are remote sensing enthusiasts to be active in the proposal. But any way if the major members of this site don't allow me advertise the proposal here, I'll probably not be successful then I won't try to advertise the proposal more on this site.

We have remote-sensing tag here, and most of it would be on-topic as spacecraft operations, even if it's to produce Earth Science data. Aerial remote sensing is on-scope for mentioned Earth Science, technical aspects at Aviation, here, Physics, Robotics, Engineering,... data analysis again on multiple existing Stack Exchange sites,... I foresee great difficulties in maintaining sufficient activity on a new SE site about it. And tho I'm interested in it...

...I personally don't find the time to participate in already large number of SE sites. I doubt that's much different for anyone here.

In all, it seems to me more like a divide et impera attempt than finding a certain symbiosis with the rest of SE. But that's just my opinion, it's not the reason for nuking your proposal in our Space Exploration Meta

@TildalWave And that was the exact reason why I proposed the site. Because I saw remote sensing related questions is splattered on various sites. For SAR related questions I had to post the question in Electrical Engineering and physics

For remote sensing software related questions I had to post them in GIS (They're not very good in the concepts and most remote sensing questions remain unanswered there)

For applications I had to refer to earth sciences

For technical aspects I had to refer to aviation or space exploration or engineering without knowing which is the best

For image processing related questions I had to refer to signal processing

and computer science

Regarding the applications of machine vision in photogrammetry

@sepideh programming, (astro/...)physics, maths, electronics and robotics,... are also covered on multiple SE sites, that's not an issue

For statistics related questions I had to refer to cross-validated

@sepideh then maybe it would be easier to work on strengthening that topic on a site that already includes it in its scope?

@TildalWave yes maybe

don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely not against what you're trying to do and yes, it seems existing SE sites that cover it lack in that topic both in experts as well as number of contributions (kinda related anyway), but I'm not sure you're taking the most optimal approach

@TildalWave they are all covered but remote sensing is not covered. Each aspect of remote sensing just fit one of these site while the other aspect does not fit that site

you could use existing sites' momentum to start new expert communities within its broader community

that's probably also why you intuitively sought support in other communities, thinking that's where those people are

my point is just why move them elsewhere when you could just engage them more where they are
