| Question | — |
Can't upload images (clicking upload button does nothing) The image uploader seems broken. Clicking on the upload button does nothing. Cross ref: bug report posted over at Photography Meta. Also, I just noticed while making the link above, clicking the "link" button does nothing as well. Browser: MacOS Safari 13.1.1 (more) |

Personally, I like “Library” over the rest. I feel “References” and “Guides” are a bit too specific in different ways. “Resources” is generic enough I suppose. (more) |

(I might be regretting my earlier push to include video. I’ve been going through recent questions at Video-SE, and I can’t understate how uninterested I am in most of them. I’ve been under the impression that there were more questions that overlapped photo and video, but I was wrong. I suppose that i... (more) |

From an ease of typing standpoint, I like photo.codidact.com. But I think photography.codidact.com more clearly indicates the site is about _photography_, not _photos_. I think photovideo would be the fairest, so that the video aspect isn’t given short shrift. (more) |

@MonicaCellio No, it’s definitely not a “day 1 needed” thing. Much more important to launch the site sooner rather than wait for Mathjax. I just wanted a request placeholder here, perhaps a discussion point if somebody else thought it was unnecessary. Thanks! (more) |

A: Photo-Video Codidact Site Need for Mathjax This wasn’t part of the question, but I’d like to throw in the request to have Mathjax supported in the Photo/Video site. Equations aren’t super common in photography questions and answers, but there are plenty of topics that benefit from having easily created and edited math n... (more) |

This looks pretty good. Question: if it turns out that we should have separated Q&A into a couple more categories, how difficult would it be to do a bulk move/recategorisation at a later date? (more) |

Also full transparency: I’m not remotely interested in video either. I am interested in removing the conflicts that arise when people ask about DSLR videography that are barely applicable to photography, when the answer basically already exists in the photo site. If the solution is just simple catego... (more) |

The main problem I see with my answer (single Q&A category, expanded to include video & CV) is that I think it will dilute the "good-subjective" posts that Matt is trying nuture, even further than they were at PSE. I think side-channeling Gear Recs. as a category will greatly help that front, but I f... (more) |

We had periodic debates in Meta-PSE about CV questions being on-topic, usually boiling down to experienced other-Stackers who also knew quite a bit about photography asking, "Fine, then what Stack should I ask my question at?" The frustrating answer was sometimes that there probably wasn't a stack fo... (more) |

... think most users used or cared about tags very much. Regarding computer vision, many questions came from more engineering focused Stacks such as Image Processing, EE, and SuperUser. These were people looking for engineering design guidance, etc. The focus of PSE was primarily about _creative_ pho... (more) |

@Monica Early on, video was determined to be OT at Photo-SE. Video-SE was the sister site that spent a long time in beta. While video questions unrelated to photography were easy to close or send over to VSE, there were still plenty of partial overlap questions. And still, the separation caused some ... (more) |

A: Photo-Video Codidact Site (fellow Photo-SE expat speaking here...) Answering your questions, 1: I'm definitely interested in helping get a Photography Q&A off the ground here. 2: 100% in favor of including Photography, Video, and Computer Vision. The Photo/Video separation at Photo-SE was resolved long before I joine... (more) |
