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.

Introducing a new proposals process
Welcome to the new Proposals site! As we noted in the [proposal for this change](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/288156), we feel we need better way to propose and evaluate new communities for our network. A single post and people expressing interest isn't expressive enough; we think actually asking and answering questions that fit the proposed community's scope can both flesh out a proposal and keep people involved while that happens. Hence, this new community for proposals -- an incubator of sorts. [How to propose a community on the codidact.com network](https://proposals.codidact.com/help/proposals) 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. We'll be phasing this in. We haven't closed the old "site proposals" category on Meta yet, but we hope to soon. First, we'd like to get some proposals started here and uncover anything else we need to adjust before fulling switching over.
