I'd like to propose a change to 'Proposed Q&A site for statistics, data analysis and data mining'. It sounds a bit trivial, but the name as it stand implies that only people who do only statistics for a living should use the site. There are people in many other professions who might have a lot to contribute to the site, but be put off if they feel like it is just for people where statistics is their profession rather than part of their profession. –

Statistics is not a subset of mathematics. It uses some mathematics, but so does physics, engineering, etc. Try asking any of these questions on MO and they will (rightly) be closed as off topic. –

I've modified the subheading to take account of the comments being made. Let me know if you think this is better (perhaps vote up this comment). I'm still not sure what to do with the major heading. I understand the objections, but haven't come up with anything better yet. Feel free to make some suggestions in the comments. –

"I'm active at mathoverflow and have seen how useful it is. Also, I'll be teaching statistics in 2010-2011."
