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.

Comment Post #295017 @#8046 That's OK for me. I know I have an inborne talent for asking strange questions (some of which drove my teachers mad, sending me from one to another). Part of the asking is to poke and see how, where, and with what tags, the next question could be asked better. We live and learn.

Comment Post #295017 @#8046 I don't car what it is called or if it is subsumed by any already existing tag. That would be fine for me.

Comment Post #295020 To lazy to look up the link, but "Proposals" were also called "Incubator", as a picture, to plant a seed and see if it grows or not in the soil and climate available. I would like to use "Proposals" in this kind of way. I cannot supply many questions (and even less answers) on farming or biolo...

Comment Post #295020 Not exactly hardcoded, but cut, reorganized and replanted, based on growing longtime observation and experience, like a good gardener should do. No need to hurry.

Comment Post #295017 @Lundin I saw this https://outdoors.codidact.com/comments/thread/11275#comment-27896 comment and it felt great. Maybe other people have other ideas on how to use the "Proposals"? I realy like that aspect stated in the link above.

Comment Post #295020 Exactly what I am thinking: automatic cleanup would be error prone no matter how much AI is invested. I suggest a manual clean-up about once a year, with mapping tags to aliases and grouping them. And some kind of warning and proposal "do you really want to ... there are already tags ..." that ca...

Comment Post #295017 Maybe I have a different understanding of "proposals". For me, now, it is a kind of "catch all and see what prospers". If there will be enough questions for "farming", that's OK for me. Maybe it will end up in "biology" or drown in the sea of "too many tags".

Question Prevent tags overflow
I just asked a question and created a new tag without warning. Is there a kind of "sweeper" to clean up tags that are similar to each other, or some kind of friendly warning like "xyz" is a new tag, have you considered using "uvw" or "abc" instead? Good thing to be able to have new tags, an...

Question Why chicken eggs and not eggs from other birds?
I heard (citation needed) that chickens lay eggs but only start brooding them when there are a lot of them (a dozen, if it is true what I gathered from hearsay). This would imply that those eggs have a natural resistance not to rot away early, making them a staple food preferred over eggs from...
