An [idea] is for when you have an idea for a site but you don't have the community to go with it. The hope is that by posting it here, you find like-minded folks who will help you build the site. A [proposal] is for ideas that _do_ already have a community, or for [idea]s that have successfully found one. I hadn't looked at the History proposal for a while, but now that I do I see two or three engaged users, and that's a little while ago now. Two or three isn't enough to get a site started - there's no set threshold, but it needs enough users to keep it going even if a bunch of them are off doing other things for a while. For communities like Cooking, that might be 10 people - everyone can participate in a cooking site. For something more niche or something that requires expertise, the number will be higher because not so many people can immediately jump in and start contributing.
