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.

Backstory: In my story there's this organization that is kind like of movie version of Men in Black combined with the Kingsmen where they hide in the shadows and maintain order in the world. Now t...
Currently, clicking Start Proposal starts you with a blank text box. There is some general advise in the "Posting Tips" box. However, it is not clear what exactly the format should be, what points ...
If/when we accumulate many proposals, I think we might run into an issue with tags colliding. For example, suppose someone adds the base tag to Video Games ask about base building in strategy game...
I don't think this is realistic. How many companies still honor contracts from 1923? There's no way to guarantee that it will survive through all the possible mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies...
Most everyday electrical wiring has two wires, usually one white and one black/red. When installing a switch, does it matter which wire I put the switch on?
I'm inclined against the business/legal aspects of this per this answer, but if there are questions specific to the "craft" part of selling, like optimal booth/display setup for a fair or protectin...
Usually I hear it as just fishing. This is the process of getting a wire or cable from one place to another through inaccessible (or less accessible than desired) areas. That includes hollow walls ...
How can I make my own compass out of wood? (I mean the drawing tool, not the direction-finder.) Ideally, I'd like something that: Handles diameters from 3 in to 2 ft Has minimal non-wooden pa...
When an ordinary person sells their house in the US, what happens to their tax situation? Usually, houses sell for half a million and up, and considering also regular (ie. salary) income, this woul...
This is cool, I'm curious to see how the experiment will turn out! I've thought about bringing up this kind of thing before. It's neat that the CD team had the same idea, and even developed it mor...
Some Codidact communities have MathJax enabled, while others do not. Each community decides whether they want MathJax based on weighing up the advantages and disadvantages. However, Codidact Propo...
We should add proposals.codidact.com to the main site https://codidact.com/. The natural place to put it IMO would be at the end of the listed communities, just after meta.codidact.
The frequency of the vibrations is only one of many considerations. To "granulate" rock, the vibrations have to cause large tension forces in the brittle material. The wavelength of the vibration...
Death is a part of life. and it's a huge part of Dwarf Fortress. I need to get everyone buried after my fort had a little fun, but people aren't putting the corpses in coffins. I tried designating ...
This is indeed a bit confusing. The trick is that you have to form a 1x1 crypt area on top of every single coffin, rather than dragging out a large crypt area. A typical layout for a "communical cr...
Thanks for pointing this out. I think this is a broader problem than just proposals: wiki posts are intended to be community-owned, so the original author shouldn't have any special privileges on ...
Swap too much control for too little If your concern is that being able to control light would make your character(s) too powerful, but you feel that not affecting light would seem like an oversig...
We have several proposals that were made a long time ago but haven't had any incubator posts at all. That wasn't a use case we anticipated; we expected that proposals might be slow to build and th...
There is one specific issue here with one emergency solution. Because of this specific situation, we have discovered a flaw in our system. This flaw needs to be discussed further, and eventually re...
They can only see a cut-out of the reality Depending on their technological capabilities underground people might have something like periscopes, cameras or drones available to take a "peek" on th...
I'm imagining a sort of magic that only manipulates probabilities. That is, you cannot achieve something that's against the laws of nature (for example, you cannot create energy out of nothing), bu...
The Worldbuilding proposal currently includes this bullet: We would accept a fairly broad range of question types. Within reasonable limitations, questions that require focused brainstorming or ...
I've read one novel with a similar setting where the answer was: a small number in the government know the truth, but they intentionally deceive everyone else in order to retain power. Anyone who w...
I tried to post a question on worldbuilding and after I found I wasn't able to get into the site. I kept getting redirected to page telling me that codidact proposals was unavailable and it even to...
If you can do it with your mind, then why can't everyone do it, and why are there wizards with inherently different strengths? It is like many other abilities we are already familiar with. Some p...
