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.

  • I have personally never been all that keen on the term 'Webmaster' for 2 reasons:
  • 1. It implies a certain level of competency that has _already been attained_ rather than talking of levels of knowledge that are gained over time. Thus I believe the term is off putting for those who do not feel themselves as 'master' level.
  • 2. The term is laden with a gender stereotype (male) which is very much out of touch with modern times.
  • My personal preference is 'Web Developers'. This does not claim any form of _mastery_ and does not come with any _gender stereotyping_ while also loosely encompassing all of the areas of interest to this section of Codidact.
  • Arguable of course but there is my 5 cents worth...
