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.

- ### Site Name
- Computer Science
- ### 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 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.
