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.

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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Building on this answer, maybe we add a category -- maybe called "Workshop" -- with Wiki posts, where the object is to organize and bring together all the aspects of a larger project like, in this ...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
I am migrating a proposal from the old system on behalf of others. This post doesn't yet follow our template; it's a cut/paste so that people who actually understand GIS can have a starting point....
When moving a transport whale in Mistwind, you need to pay one krill when departing a port unless you have an outpost or another transport there. The presumption is that you can get the needed kri...
Site Name Tabletop Games (Is this too confusing with TRPG?) Description Questions about all types of tabletop games -- board games, card games, dice games, and others. Questions about playing ...
Open Source Software was proposed about a year ago. Ten people have joined or are watching, which might be a record here, but there have been no posts in the incubator. The description is: A s...
Accounting was proposed about a year ago, but there have been no posts in the incubator. A comment on the proposal suggests that accounting should be within the scope of Finance. There is no over...
