<p>I noticed the ad on the main site today for the data science proposal, which evidently is 77% committed.  Some of the <a href="http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/55053?phase=commitment">people committed</a> to the proposal are users on CV.  Most of the <a href="http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/55053?phase=definition">questions listed</a> look like they would be on-topic on CV, or even might be duplicates of existing questions.  A minority of the questions are more programming oriented, but I would guess they could fit on one or another of the various SE programming sites.  Of course, people can form a new site if they want, but I'm wondering what the value-add is?  Is there something we're lacking, or should we be more welcoming of something?  Moreover, what do people think of the proposal?  </p>
