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 #288625 I understand not wanting questions on piracy that are asking how to circumvent a game's protections. What about questions from a game developer about implementing piracy protections? These could be questions about the technicalities of implementing, or about the practicalities - cost/benefit analy...

Comment Post #288661 Editing the description rather than the tag name does sound easier (both during the proposal stage and after migration). If you added that as an answer it would get my vote.

Comment Post #288661 I'd also be happy if the community has a better idea. As long as we have something.

Comment Post #288455 Being on topic in 2 places doesn't mean it has to be asked in both places. It also doesn't hurt if it is asked in both places. The benefit of having separate communities for different subject areas is that voting and feedback from a narrower collection of experts is more useful, and answers will b...

Answer A: Tag collision between proposals
Definitely a problem I don't see this as a problem for filtering posts. If I filter by the proposal tag and the clashing tag, then I will only see posts with the clashing tag for that proposal, not the other proposal. Where I see more of a problem is when people want to add the tag wiki and the w...

Comment Post #288455 Being on topic in another community doesn't necessarily make something off topic in this one - a few of the existing communities have overlaps. If you think that software development questions should be off topic here, it's worth raising that as a separate question to get a discussion going and see w...

Comment Post #288455 I agree with both your points. As for the proposed name "Web Developers", I wonder whether that would sound like only the code side of looking after a website. To me personally, "Webmasters" also sounds narrow - it would make me think of only the operations side and not the code side. As the sc...

Question What should the "webmasters" site name and url be?
When SE's webmasters community was just starting out, they had a [Meta discussion about what the site name should be]. Although they settled on "webmasters", some of the arguments given at the time may no longer apply today. For example, Bing still uses the term webmaster tools, but [Google appear...

Comment Post #288368 I like this idea of users choosing which community they want an answer from, rather than a question having only one "correct" home. Intuitively, I'd also expect it to be better to start a new community with a scope that is slightly too broad rather than slightly too narrow. My guess is that gradua...
