<p>The <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/tour">Help/Tour</a> page says,</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Cross Validated is a question and answer site for statisticians,
  machine teachers, data analysts, data miners and data visualization
  experts.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>(Aside: Should "machine teachers" be there? -- it's not in the other versions of the tag line.)</p>

<p>What about data visualization <em>novices</em>? Do such users and their questions belong on CV or some existing SE site? If not, should CV invite them or should a new SE site be created for them? Looks like there is a <a href="http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/11508/infographics-and-data-visualization">deleted Infographics and Data Visualization proposal</a> in Area 51 in case anyone has enough rep to see it.</p>

<p>On one hand, I like data visualization living in CV because many data visualization issues are tightly coupled to data analysis. For instance, choosing the right summarization level and making valid comparisons.</p>

<p>On the other hand, there are other aspects not tied to analysis, such as choosing a color scheme, understanding efficient layout, software tools, and visual perception.</p>

<p>I ask because I noticed this new site, <a href="http://helpmeviz.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Help Me Viz</a>, is trying to use the WordPress engine for something similar to SE in this area. </p>
