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.

Great! The good news is that those Android questions are on-topic in those communities now, so you can go ahead and ask them. If doing that turns up a gap that would be better plugged by a new community, then we'll have that context to help shape it. (more) |

Do Android developers and Android users have more in common with each other than (Android devs + software devs in general) and (Android users and software users in general)? We have Software Dev, where Android programming questions are on-topic, and Power Users, where questions about using Android a... (more) |

A: What type of contractor does flooring? When we were looking to replace a kitchen floor (in the US), we got our best results by searching for the type of flooring, not the type of provider. Tile, hardwood, and vinyl plank are pretty different from each other, and while there are generalists who will happily sell you any of them, reviews a... (more) |

@#8176 I can speak more solidly for Judaism. Questions like that are inherently scoped "according to torah/halacha", and we do get answerable questions like that. Because there are different traditions, we also sometimes see questions narrowed to one of them ("according to X, ...?"). Judaism has a... (more) |

I agree that "what does philosophy X say about Y?" is too narrow and boring. I think we'll have a more vibrant community if a single question can draw answers from a variety of perspectives. How do we get manageable variety -- several but not hundreds? Or is "hundreds" ok with the right tooling, s... (more) |

My concern is attracting answers that express personal opinions without any grounding in philosophical approaches. The Internet is full of long "well *I* think..." threads, and I don't think that's what people who are actually studying philosophy want. Again, this isn't my field, so maybe it's fine... (more) |

Thanks for these initial thoughts. Comment threads are not a great way to engage with multi-faceted feedback, so when you have a chance to write an answer, I'll respond in more depth there. I was struggling a little with how to phrase things; subjective/objective might not be the right frame but it... (more) |

| Question | — |
How do we encourage answerable Philosophy questions? Philosophy is an academic discipline and also a more informal conversational pursuit. How should the Philosophy community be structured to support and encourage answerable objective questions and discourage forum-style subjective conversations? Questions like "how does $theory define good and evi... (more) |

@#64277 when we launch a community we'll need to move its questions from the incubator. If the conclusion of a proposal is to not create the community but move some incubator questions to other communities, that can be done the same way. We don't currently have a user interface for this, but someon... (more) |

The best way to test possible boundaries is to start asking questions in Incubator Q&A that would fit this proposal. I think there's overlap with Software Dev (and maybe Math), but if there's enough topic space for things that *don't* fit on those communities, that's something we can find out by tes... (more) |

Are certificate errors always reported immediately, or is validation cached? I visited a site that I use infrequently and got a certificate error, specifically `NET:ERRCERTAUTHORITYINVALID`. I contacted the owner, who asked for a screenshot. That surprised me, as I had assumed that a certificate problem would be visible to everyone. I tested three browsers across two devic... (more) |

I've put this question on hold pending information about which community this question would be part of. People will probably answer in different ways for a medicine community versus a biology one, for example. If you can help us out by creating a draft (in Descriptions) for the community you have ...

It wouldn't be more of an admin burden than adding it to the "topic tags" list, which is what we do now.
For proposals that are no longer active, we don't have to delete the tag, just remove it from the list of required tags. If a question has more than one community tag and we're going to launch... (more) |

A: How can I propose a new website in Codidact? You've found the right place. Check out how to propose a community on the codidact.com network in the Help Center.

No offense taken. (You do know that nobody at Codidact gets paid for this, right?)
There are communities (or sometimes "communities") that are driven from the top, like when a company promotes its own forum for discussions of its products. Those have paid organizers because otherwise they'd die.... (more) |

Why are you proposing the restriction on full-time employees, even if only one person is? In your church example, the church has a paid minister but the lay-led bible-study group is a community. Do you think their mere affiliation with an organization that has employees changes the nature of the co... (more) |

Isn't math included in science? Sometimes questions fit on more than one community, and that's ok -- let people ask the communities they're most interested in. You'd probably get a different type of answer on Math than on Everyday Science. (more) |

I, too, was confused by "domestic" in the name, until I read the proposal. (I was wondering what international STEM would mean in contrast.) I second (third?) the suggestion for "everyday science", even if that broadens the scope a little. (more) |

I think the distinction you're aiming for is between *questions about law* and *requests for specific advice*. "How is X license interpreted by EU courts?" or "what commercial uses does Y license allow?" seem like questions this proposal would allow, right? Would a notice like the one on [Judaism C...

Light fixture uses dimmable LEDs and a dimmer switch, but flickers -- how can I fix this? My dining room includes a chandelier ceiling fixture with five sockets, controlled by a dimmer switch on the wall. I've lived here for 20 years and this was already in place when I moved in; I don't know any more history. There is no documentation, but I was verbally told that it was rated for no m... (more) |

A: Home Improvement: Is it necessary to expand acronyms like OSB? 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.
