Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.
Questions, answers, and articles tied to current proposals. Ask questions and post articles as you would post them on the "live" site. This "incubator" is how we develop proposals and their scope.
Because some proposals include article-based categories alongside Q&A, we've enabled them here. This means you'll need to choose question or article when posting in this category.
