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.

I've added a new close reason:

> **community not specified**  
> This question is missing a tag for an active community proposal. If the proposal this question is part of exists, please add the tag and the question can be reopened. If the proposal does not yet exist, please start an entry in the Descriptions category to describe the intended community. Descriptions can be fleshed out over time.

I did this instead of setting up required tags for two reasons.  First, the list of community tags is already a little long and is expected to grow, so this could get cumbersome in the UI.  Second, if somebody does intend to propose a community and ask some questions for it, I don't want to get too picky about order of operations so long as the description gets written reasonably soon.  A closed question -- as opposed to a question you haven't been able to ask yet -- might even motivate someone to write that description, after which the question can be reopened.
