Re: [Nuke-users] Nuke Stack Exchange Proposal

[Aurélyen Daudet]

Thanks for your humor Frank ; )

I'm agree, mailing lists were (are) really fine and were (are ) properly
working.
In my opinion the change to the forum is a pure marketing thing.
Go to the website, be polluted by adverts and announcements, watch the
community Gallery... etc.
Instead of clear and really efficient way to share and gain experience and
knowledge.
(I'm not really keen on marketing-driven decisions)

Adding a Stack Exchange-like site would be an other fragmentation of
knowledge and places
to ask / get information. (Even if I find these kind of sites really
effective.)
So I don't think it would be a good idea to have a Nuke specific SE site.

But, as it is suggested in the Area 51 having a Compositing SE to ask
questions could be better.
Fusion, Natron, Toxik (don't laugh..) are node based and share some
technics.
Maybe we'll see challengers come in next years.



Cheers.

Re: [Nuke-users] Nuke Stack Exchange Proposal

[Frank Rueter|OHUfx]

Why don't we start by lobbying The Foundry a bit harder to FINALLY 
reconcile/sync mailing list and forum properly for starters to limit 
ongoing fragmentation? Come on, it's 2016 and they just won another 
sci-tech award, is it really that hard??


There are three main groups: user, python and dev, but thanks to the 
forum we now have 6 instead of three groups to monitor - easy to lose 
motivation to participate.


Personally I'm getting tired of jumping back and forth and wondering 
which one to post a specific topic too. When questions are double posted 
(and I can't blame people for doing so), which place to you answer them in?
Considering we used to have a great, focused user group years ago, I 
really dislike the status quo and think it's a massive regression.


I also don't think the email configuration in the forum can be greatly 
improved, e.g. the "from" field just says "no-repl-communitybot...". I 
like seeing the author of a post in my inbox.


Since I'm posting this to the mailing list which is no longer official, 
I am wondering if we should duplicate this thread on the forum to ensure 
it gets the right exposure :-D ...

I have to agree with Frank as well. I love StackExchange, and keep an eye on 
the 'nuke' tag on StackOverflow (among other things), but I don't think the 
community would really benefit from being any more fragmented, even if it would 
be adding a really nice platform to the mix. People already post the same 
questions to both StackOverflow and the Foundry forums on occasion, which means 
answering them sometimes turns out to be a waste of time.

I also have to agree that many people's use of the community resources don't 
align with the StackExchange ethos of doing your due diligence before asking 
questions. Rather we get the same basic questions repeated (and answered) over 
and over again because people can't be bothered to do a little leg work.

I think it would be great if the existing community forums were migrated to 
StackExchange, but I'm not very optimistic about something like that happening.

I would post this annoucement there too, to reach a wider user base.

Re: [Nuke-users] Nuke Stack Exchange Proposal

[Frank Rueter|OHUfx]

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!

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.

[Nuke-users] Nuke Stack Exchange Proposal

[aaron barclay]

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*!
