Q&A How can we improve community proposals?

For many such proposals, the first things I wonder are: What specifically is wrong with the SE version of this community? What would compel people to abandon it and come here, besides principle?...

For many such proposals, the first things I wonder are:

* What specifically is wrong with the SE version of this community? What would compel people to abandon it and come here, besides principle?
* What will you do better that the SE version?

A lot of proposal seem to be proposing identical clones of SE sites, with near-identical rules. I think that will not work. People will just conglomerate on the big site, if you don't give them a reason not to.
