Is the Open Source proposal currently viable?
Open Source Software was [proposed](https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/289676) about a year ago. Ten people have joined or are watching, which might be a record here, but there have been no posts in the incubator. The description is: > A site for people to ask about the open-source ecosystem, licensing, and other topics related to open-source software. There were some comment threads ([1](https://proposals.codidact.com/comments/thread/8421) [2](https://proposals.codidact.com/comments/thread/8418)) about *software* versus a broader "open source" concept. The proposal excludes "legal advice" but might need to be more explicit about allowing questions of legal *fact*, such as questions about licenses. The proposal *sounds* like it should support ample Q&A, and we know there are OSS Q&A communities elsewhere. Do people *here* have questions in this area?
