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.

Site Name
Open Source Software
Description
A site for people to ask about the open-source ecosystem, licensing, and other topics related to open-source software.
Topics
Topics covered would include:
- Developing open-source software that others can use
- Using and contributing to open-source projects
- Questions about licensing (This would need some care; a previous proposal for a law community was rejected because we shouldn't try to armchair lawyer)
Exclusions
These topics or types of posts would be out of scope:
- Legal advice
- Programming (use Software instead)
Special Features
None that I can think of
Overlaps
- Legal - Might overlap with a legal community, though that suggestion was shot down.
- Software - This site would not include questions about programming or tooling except for those where the open-source aspect affects things. That is, don't simply post here just because your project is open-source, but because the answer would change based on whether it was or wasn't open source.
