Is it possible to start a dedicated area for us print makers using digital and wet process. ?
I for one would love to see this area of printmaking more cataloged here as a forum topic.

I like this - I would love to see it open to any and all methods of making prints.

Mods, would you consider a poll? Like you did for the ULF sub-forum?
Not picking sides, but I think digital to wet deserves it's own place or we end up with 'unknowns to knowns' or something like that.

Since the image has been digitized at some point to produce the final print, it would seem more appropriate to use the digital processing sub-forum.
I agree with this. My understanding has always been that this is a Large Format Photography Forum. I think that like it or not the digital negative is becoming the norm. As we age the big cameras get harder to carry so we go to digital in some point of the process. Some do not have darkrooms available.
I am a traditional film large and Ultra large format photographer and alternative printer. I will be for as long as I can.
I think there is a need for a separate area for the digital negative wet print. Unfortunately IMHO I see so much of it that it is becoming the norm I feel.
So,this is the way technology is going but I feel that this is not the place in the main forum for these discussions. If something is needed then Bob can be the moderator because he has the expertise and I'm sure many others do as well. A sub forum would be the place.
I believe that the forum is for the film shooters and any digital interface should be separate.
