Codidact Collab - should it be listed?
The drop down menu at the top right of each Codidact page shows a list of all the communities in the network. The list is also linked to from the page footer, and from codidact.com.
There is also a community for people who work on the QPixel software that Codidact runs on, called Codidact Collab. However, this one is not included in the list of Codidact communities. Is this an intentional omission or would it be useful to include it, so that interested people can be more aware that there is support for contributing to QPixel?
I understand that not all Codidact users will be interested in this particular community, but the same is true of all the Codidact communities - very few people will be interested in everything on the list.
What are the reasons for and against including Collab in the list?
Presumably Collab would automatically become included if it were hosted on the same domain as the other communities, as suggested in Is there an argument for having Collab under codidact.com?

That's a good question. We kept it separate because we didn't want to distract people from their primary focus, which we assumed would be on the communities here rather than the underpinnings. Collab is linked from the GitHub repository and we expected that to be the primary path in.
I don't have a strong opinion; it seemed like a good idea at the time, and I don't know of a reason we couldn't change it (though I don't know everything :-) ). We could also leave it the way it is and link it more prominently here, perhaps in the same part of the right column (on desktops) where we have the links for ads and donations.
