<p>Following up on this question: <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5325/we-have-a-very-large-widening-gap-between-questions-and-answers-how-do-we-fix">We have a very large &amp; widening gap between questions and answers. How do we fix it?</a> </p>

<p>Where one of the suggestions was: </p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>We need more answers, and therefore answer-writers</strong></p>
</blockquote>

<p>I agree, and I'm wondering whether the datascience stack exchange  is causing CV to miss out on some good answer writers and moderators? </p>

<p>Although some overlap between SE sites is unavoidable (CV/Math/Theoretical CS/Signal Processing) - in the case of CV and DS, the overlap is so significant as to be harmfully redundant. Just about any theoretical machine learning or neural network question is completely on topic in either site. Since people can only spend so much time on an SE, it means time devoted to answering and moderating questions by competent people is being split between both sites. </p>
