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.

Community Proposals FAQ

Welcome! This site is for developing new communities for the codidact.com network. We feel that the best way to refine a proposal and attract a community is to start using it, so proposals (descriptions) are accompanied by real Q&A. Ask, answer, refine, invite your friends!

How to propose a community on the codidact.com network has all the details, but at a high level:

  • Start a proposal (wiki post) in the Descriptions category. Describe your community. Plan to edit this description as you learn more from sample Q&A and meta discussions.

  • Use the Incubator Q&A category to ask and answer real questions in your community's area of scope.

  • Use the Meta category for anything related to specific proposals.

  • Use the proposal's special tag (we'll create these as needed) to tie all these posts together. Meta uses the same tag set as everything else, not the usual Meta tag set.

  • Invite people you know who are interested in the proposal to participate here.
