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.

Since I am the proposal's author I'd like to give my two cents:
The original idea to create that proposal was, because I figured Codidact is missing such a community. I proposed that with the intention of "attracting" more users with it. Because I thought this would also be beneficial to other communities. Actually, I thought the proposal would rather quickly lead to the creation of the site as they are shown on the main page.
Instead of gathering supporters who get "hands-on" by building something, I only got feedback on what was wrong on the first steps I tried (like open-ended opinion-based posts deemed unfit for Q&A, tag or topic being too broad with Movies+Literature). So I lost interest in establishing the topic here on Codidact because apparently, everyone else knows better how this community-to-be should be like, while I was the one conceptualizing it but have had no chance in establishing it like this right from the start.
By deleting the proposal I wanted to prevent that anyone approaches me for feedback on that again. If the only thing a proposal gathers is negative feedback, well this implies not too much interest in the proposal. If there is someone who would like to be responsible further on, then that someone should take over.
As a quick solution I offer to undelete the proposal. If possible I would like to have my name removed from it as being the author. I am okay with it if the text is copy&pasted by someone who wants to nurture this proposal further and re-posts it.
~~As for the future handling of such a case, I do not really have a helpful hint right now.~~
I'm sorry for having caused trouble. I assumed the proposal and my question are the only posts on this.
