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.

You're not really using these dice as dice, but as markers. It sounds like you won't be "rolling" these dice, and therefore expect an even outcome between landing on each of the 6 sides. Paint th...
I haven't found what I'm looking for online, so I'm wondering if there is a specialist term for this type of dice that would give me better luck. What I'm seeking I'm looking for dice that are id...
Science tends to discover knowledge by performing experiments in the lab. For example, suppose we have a hypothesis that a volume V of atmospheric air, when compressed quickly to a certain ratio, ...
The viability of a community doesn't depend on votes; it depends on activity. If a proposal attracts a body of Q&A (and other posts) from enough people, those are signs of a solid community. If...
What is the gender distribution in each of the Star Wars trilogies, and how does it distribute over each faction or group, such as the separatist droid army, empire officers, jedi, etc? I am somew...
I've had an idea where there's this humanoid based life-form that has no real origin other than being found on some remote island. Kind of like skull island and seems be a complete anomaly in the n...
I've mostly worked with pine wood, because it's cheap and easy to work with. I've had some projects where I finished it (polyurethane coat, sometimes a stain) and other projects where I didn't (jus...
The trick is getting everything to work together. Typical solar (without battery) installations actually work with the grid. If you generate more power than you need, the balance goes to the utilit...
Canonical URLS are highly recommended for SEO and to prevent competition between duplicate pages. I've been trying to implement this, but I'm unsure how to implement this for pages which repeat but...
I have a cheap drill press and a set of cheap spade bits. Some of the spade bits wobble, the tip makes a circle of as much as 5 mm in diameter for some of them. Others wobble less, 1-2 mm. Since t...
I recall that back in the dark ages of web search (Altavista), search engines were naive and keywords were a huge thing in SEO. People would even create landing pages stuffed with keywords in tiny,...
There were two questions, both with flags and several downvotes (no upvotes). One was deleted for plagiarism. The other included a bunch of links and asked for counter-arguments; it was broad and...
No, because you get to account for the basis. If you bought a house at \$300k and later sold it for \$500k, then only the $200k profit is under consideration for income taxes. Further, the federa...
Do the math! Calculate the present value of each loan. Add the buy down amount to the cost of the loan with the lower interest rate. Whichever is lower wins. That said, there are some additiona...
The fundamentals of SEO haven't changed in two decades: Create great content. Use the words and phrases for which you want to be found in search engines. Ensure that search engines can crawl y...
A healthy community requires both activity and people. The Incubator Q&A category is the place to build activity (and Meta is the place to flesh out issues that come up in doing so), but we'd ...
I created the AI tech proposal primarily because I thought it would be good to have a place to discuss doing stuff with AI models rather than the details of how they are trained and how they work. ...
From the Georgia Pacific page on OSB: Blue edge seal helps prevent moisture intrusion And on the specifications page downloadable from the Georgia Pacific web page: BlueRibbon Rated Sheathing ...
Personal opinion, not speaking for the team: There is a tension between being accessible to all, on the one hand, and assuming a baseline of knowledge in a site's topic. On a software-development...
One solution, which I know has been discussed in other contexts, is to have a community-specific glossary of terms. A really neat way to do this would be for the first time something is included in...
Home Improvement seems like a site where recommendation type questions might happen quite frequently, including product/component recommendations as well as tool recommendations. I think these can ...
Could number of characters required in the title of descriptions be lowered from 15 to 4? I would have liked to name my proposal just "Webmasters," but that is too short. It seems like the propose...
Once a proposal is out of the incubator and it has its own site, is the plan to move the incubator Q/A questions to it?
I think it is useful to add in tags that the question might actually have on the community when launched. It makes a more realistic "sandbox", which means that we start to figure out how we want t...
I've heard that for good SEO you need both a <title> tag and an <h1> tag on each page. I have pages that are very visual, think full screen map or full screen images. I'm not sure that...
