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.

Welcome to the new Proposals site! As we noted in the proposal for this change, we feel we need better way to propose and evaluate new communities for our network. A single post and people expres...
I've just gotten a copy of Railways of the World after playing and enjoying a few games. The eastern-US map is physically very large and "artistic". I and some of my friends have vision problems ...
In the last few years my area has seen increased power outages -- usually a few hours, occasionally longer. I'd like to defend against these better so that a poorly-timed outage doesn't ruin my wh...
Would the proposed Home Improvement community be open to questions about "house stuff" more broadly? I have in mind not just home improvement, but household operations more generally. I'd been co...
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 ...
I've added a new close reason: community not specified This question is missing a tag for an active community proposal. If the proposal this question is part of exists, please add the tag and t...
I'm inclined against the business/legal aspects of this per this answer, but if there are questions specific to the "craft" part of selling, like optimal booth/display setup for a fair or protectin...
There were two questions, both with flags and several downvotes (no upvotes). One was deleted for plagiarism. The other included a bunch of links and asked for counter-arguments; it was broad and...
No, because you get to account for the basis. If you bought a house at \$300k and later sold it for \$500k, then only the $200k profit is under consideration for income taxes. Further, the federa...
A healthy community requires both activity and people. The Incubator Q&A category is the place to build activity (and Meta is the place to flesh out issues that come up in doing so), but we'd ...
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. On a software-development...
Or maybe share the tag description? If a tag has overlap, use sections labeled by proposal. This avoids the cognitive load of mixing in the proposal name only on some tags. When a community launche...
Incubator Q&A is meant to be the same as it would be on the launched site -- ask real questions, write real answers, discuss scope questions on Meta. When a community launches, it will take it...
I'd like to bring active proposals here, but not bulk-move things. Today I plan to make an announcement of this new site and process and ask people to move proposals they're interested in. Among ...
Ok, this was weird. The setting was on, I pasted in some Mathjax, it didn't render, I turned it off and on, and now it's rendering. Experiment below: I need some Mathjax to test with, so I'm c...
You've found the right place. Check out how to propose a community on the codidact.com network in the Help Center. The high-level summary is to create a post in the Descriptions category, explain...
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 dif...
We talked about using tag descriptions instead of the Descriptions category, but there were a few issues: We want the people interested in a proposal to be able to collaboratively edit the des...
I'm used to four-player games of Splendor, with high competition for the cheap, engine-building cards in tier 1. I've now played a couple of two-player games, and with cards much more plentiful, t...
I played Wingspan at a convention recently and then bought a copy of the game. When unpacking it, I noticed that there was a large bag of mixed egg tokens and a smaller bag containing only blue eg...
Sorry for the poorly-timed disruption! I've been told that this is due to a migration of S3 storage causing a caching problem that should clear up soon. (Sorry, I'm the messenger not the technica...
Yes! In the incubator you're building an initial set of questions, not doing throwaway work. We'll move questions at launch and redirect from here (so people with the incubator URL aren't out of ...
Oops! Thanks for catching this. I have a great many site settings available to tweak, but I don't seem to have one for this. I'll need to get a developer assist -- on our list now. I'm sorry fo...
I like the crayon rail games. I've played a lot of Iron Dragon, some EuroRails, and a smattering of others. I'd like to introduce acquaintances who aren't already experienced gamers to this cate...
I've added a template to the help, linked from both the "how to propose a community" help topic and the posting guidance when you start a proposal post. We don't yet have a way to pre-populate the...
