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.

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...
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...
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...
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...
Most recent first, and with a support structure. Somebody who died 3000 years ago will be baffled by today's world. Somebody who died last week probably won't be. So don't start with the ones fr...
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...
In a fictional alternate version of present-day Earth, scientists have found a way to resurrect people from the past en masse. The resurrected will have bodies that resemble their original ones bu...
I visited a site that I use infrequently and got a certificate error, specifically NET:ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID. I contacted the owner, who asked for a screenshot. That surprised me, as I had a...
I live in the US midwest (we have all four seasons). Most houses here use natural gas for heating (and usually some appliances), and many homes are about a hundred years old. The main supply from...
An incident postmortem with more details was posted on the blog (on Meta) today.
Invasive Species was proposed almost a year ago but has no incubator posts. The proposal includes outlines (titles) of sample questions that would be on-topic, but they haven't been developed into...
We would like to have more and more-active communities, but we don't just want to create a bunch of communities and hope people will use them. (Some of our early ones have failed to thrive.) This...
Some proposals include categories beyond the defaults of Q&A and Meta. We don't have all those categories here on the proposals site, but we need a way to indicate which category a post is int...
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...
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...
When I needed to cut a 4' circle out of the middle of a sheet of plywood, I fabricated a compass by tying a long-enough piece of non-stretchy string to a tack or finishing nail -- I forget which, b...
I agree with this suggestion to use Meta to develop drafts (and was about to suggest the same thing). Another thing we could do, when initial drafts have settled down and if there are several page...
I had forgotten about this question when I asked this. There's some good discussion there, including a possible category name that I'm including here. Let's create a separate category called some...
The Worldbuilding proposal has some "conventional" questions and some that are more open-ended or even "idea generation". This happened in the SE Worldbuilding community too, and the latter got sh...
Artificial Life, a community for "the cross-disciplinary study of life and its abstract processes, distinct from but cross-informed by the specific instance of life that is studied as Biology", was...
Asking for a list, with answers submitting entries for that list, seems cumbersome. But consider instead a community resource, like Languages & Linguistics does. The incubator has the Article...
The answer by trichoplax is basically right. If there is an issue with a proposed community, raise it - preferably on Proposals Meta, but private is ok if it's sensitive. As much as possible, we ...
My personal opinion, not speaking for anyone else: A user-run community can't generally be the support site for your game or other product, but it can be a support site. Your players can get answ...
