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.

Why fragment the userbase even more when [Power Users](https://powerusers.codidact.com) already covers the Android end users and [Software Development](https://powerusers.codidact.com) covers the Android developers? (more) |

> Second, I think asking about types of home renovation contractors would be out of scope for a language site.
Not if you're looking for a word or term for a concept, or the definition of a word or term. (more) |

Maybe, yeah.
I guess I just can't wrap my head around looking for this particular kind of question in a language secondary to me. And that made it feel rather off. (more) |

It would be very unnatural for me to ask in English, when I’m looking for the Norwegian word. I’d probably prefer asking on a Norwegian forum instead. But if it had been on a language site, it would feel much less awkward to be asking in English.
In addition, the chance of somebody having an answer... (more) |

I am wondering, though... if I was to ask this question, I'd be asking for the Norwegian word. If this Q/A site is of use to people in English speaking countries, it certainly should be to me as well, right? I should be able to ask the same question but for my own language, right? But, how would I do... (more) |

I don't think this is a good question for an international home improvement site. It's too localized, and not universal enough. In addition, is it really about home improvement? Is it not about the English language? Maybe this question would be much better in a language community? (more) |

Do you have any examples of what you mention from SE?

Well, I’m still not fully convinced a dedicated site is the right choice (I’m not a fan of excessive fragmentation). But, I agree, go ahead and post incubator Q/A for the site. All the good Q/A can be moved to other appropriate sites if the conclusion will be not to start a new CS site. Currently, Co... (more) |

> The Computer Science (CS) community is a platform for computer science students, researchers, and anyone interested in computer science.
I see no reason why it's not sufficient to let Software Development and Math cover this.
I don't think we should have sites simply because there's a community... (more) |

Every single one one of the listed on-topic examples except for machine learning (and perhaps graphs) are already [on-topic on SD CD](https://software.codidact.com/help/on-topic). We should strive to prevent overlap between sites, so you need to either argument why such an overlap is sought, or to mo... (more) |

I play video games extensively, although not a huge set of them. I know the lore of a few franchises. In addition, I'm a programmer, and can possibly contribute some answers to that as well. (more) |

That’s reasonable, though. Might not need a category to begin with. A community wiki Q/A may suffice while the needs of such a category are laid out. A «resources» category, perhaps, which can also hold other resources. (more) |

Why is the Papers category valuable as its own category if the standards are low? We shouldn't host quasi-scientific papers that give the impression they're scientific; we would be doing humanity a disservice. Are we entirely sure this is the right format, or that this should exist? Based on the text... (more) |

Will this site accept "identify this species" questions? How do we ensure that such questions are searchable? To the best of my knowledge, an image without an accompanying detailed description, is not useful to future searchers. You have already stated picture dumps are unwanted, but once the bottom ...

Why does this require its own site? It seems too specific, and a fine fit for a broader site focused on biology (not molecular biology, chemistry, or anything that involved). (more) |
