Incubator Q&A

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.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

Questions, answers, and other posts tied to current proposals. Ask questions, post articles, and create wiki pages 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 articles and wiki posts here. This means you'll need to choose a post type when creating a new post in this category.
