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.

Description
The Computer Science (CS) community is a platform for computer science students, researchers, and anyone interested in computer science.
Topics
Topics covered would include topics in computer science that are closer to the theoretical front:
- Formal languages: Automata theory, CFGs, Turing Machines, etc.
- Data Structures.
- Graphs.
- Algorithms.
- Reductions.
- Computability and Complexity.
- Optimization Problems.
- Machine Learning.
- ...
Exclusions
The following topics or types of posts would be out of scope:
- Electrical Engineering.
- Software Development.
- Programming Languages.
- Coding.
- ...
Special Features
The ability to to write readable questions and answers:
- The ability to write in LATEX.
- The ability to quote something in the body of a question or answer: a quoting theme.
- The ability to reference or cite links.
- The ability to insert images.
- (Not in SE?) (Optional) The ability to load drawing libraries (or any other libraries) in Latex, such as TiKZ.
Overlaps
As expected, computer science can have overlaps with the mathematics and software development communities. For example, many mathematical question are computer science driven, and vice versa. Also, some topics have both practical and theoretical fronts. For example, a coding question in machine learning can fit in CS (if it is an algorithmic question) or in software development (if it is more programming-language or coding driven), depending on the nature of the question. The nature of the question will decide where it fits better.
Note: I checked with possible overlaps with communities that survived the proposal stage.
