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.

Tags are definitely the right choice, and I don't see many other practical options. Every tag specifying a category other than Q/A, should be a descendant of a "category" tag. I do think a better alternative to prefixing each tag name with "category-" would be to make the parent tag special, in that these tags are rendered specially, similar to how the set of required tags in the Meta category are rendered differently from the rest. Because the incubator is one of the tools we use to build an understanding of how we structure a community, it won't always be clear out of the gate which category a post should definitely belong to. That's fine. We can tag for multiple categories (we should have a Q/A tag in that case, too), or take note of the uncertainty with some meta-commentary in the question itself (eventually to be edited out), or a comment. Alternatively, a new discussion in this Meta category is often a good choice.
