I love StackExchange and it's self monitored nature and set of rules
ensure high quality questions and answers, and an easy way to find the
answer to a question that has already been posed.
People that are too lazy to do their own homework/research and expect
spoon feeding from others instead will have a hard time there, which
helps improve the quality of questions/answers immensely.
StackExchange is far superior to the current forums/mailing lists for sure.
However, my main concern would be to have another parallel community to
the user list and forum, and thus dilute information flow further (the
reason I refused to have a forum on Nukepedia even though I was badgered
plenty of times to do it).
Ideally I'd love a stack exchange type of quality in the official forum,
but right now we are already struggling with having a mailing list and
forum parallel to each other, with only the forum being the "official"
channel, which has already caused loss of information along the way.
So, ironically, I'd recommend posting this on the "official" forum
rather than the mailing list, to see if the Foundry have thoughts on
this as well.
It would be awesome to reconcile the community channels into one
StackExchange format.
Thanks for bringing this up!

Hey Nuke list,
There is an effort going on to get a Stack Exchange site off the
ground for Nuke. If you are familiar with Stack Exchange you might
agree it is a pretty good fit for a home of technical questions (and
answers) and could be a great resource for nuke in the future to
complement those already out there.
Those not familiar may wish to check out some of the other sites in
the stack exchange network to get a feel for what they are.
Some examples:
http://stackoverflow.com/
http://video.stackexchange.com/
http://blender.stackexchange.com/
http://math.stackexchange.com/
Read the stack exchange wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_Exchange
Right now the proposal is in definition stage and needs some people to
follow the proposal as well as join in shaping questions and voting.
The whole thing needs an active community to get it going. If you
think this might be useful jump in and get involved and *pass it on*!
No one person owns or controls this site, the types of questions and
topics it covers is up to the community. It can cover all levels,
beginner to advanced. It is completely open to mould the types of
questions that are relevant. C++ Ndk? Compositing technique? Python
API? Colour questions etc.
Its a cross between reddit, wikipedia and forums.
The FAQ is worth reading because the process is a little confusing.
http://area51.stackexchange.com/faq
The site is not real at the moment, the questions are hypothetical. It
is a proposal, in definition stage where the questions and votes that
are made now shape the general direction of the site, and none of the
questions should actually be answered just yet. However, if enough
people think this might have value and get involved we can jump to
interesting part of answering the questions.
And the site is here.

Visual effects compositing using the foundry nuke.
Yes, I think the name is terrible as well. Sign up and start a
discussion to get it changed.
aaron.
