@MaskedMan, Codidact is building a lot more capabilities, including other post types beyond questions and answers. We're not there yet, but rather than waiting for everything to be done before launching anything, we decided to start with what we have, which is enough for immediate needs of communiti... (more) |

Thanks for these suggestions! Eventually we might come up with a special post type for proposals, but if we use the question for the pitch and answers to identify and resolve issues, I think the tools we have now will work. Key to this is editing in updates as things get decided in those comment th... (more) |

In every D&D campaign I've been part of, whether as player or GM, we've ended up making a lot of modifications to the rules. This will raise the question of "when is D&D not D&D any more?". I mean, *I* think we've stayed on-theme and stuck reasonably close, but if I describe house rules in the cont... (more) |

A: Speculative Science What should the URL be? speculative-science.codidact.com is a bit of a mouthful. Is that ok? If not, what should we use instead? I'd be hesitant to make the main URL what-if.codidact.com, but that might be a reasonable redirect for whatever we come up with. Update: So far, consensus in c... (more) |

| Question | — |
What should we do about tagging in Site Proposals? We need to figure out tags in the "Site Proposals" category. I noticed that some proposals were tagged "suggestion" and some "new-communities" and started to replace the former with the latter, and then I stopped and said "wait, everything here is a suggestion for a new community!". For technical... (more) |

@Mith those are good suggestions, thanks! "Research-level Q&A" sounds like it hits the right target; I hope others will weigh in (particularly those who've used that tag on SE). (more) |

A: Speculative Science Category for (WB.SE) "hard science" questions The Worldbuilding community on SE has a hard-science tag. Use of this tag has special requirements for answerers, as described in a custom post notice: > This question asks for hard science. All answers to this question should be backed up by equat...

Now that we've settled the URL, what do you want the name to be? "Photography" only (with video understood as a type of photography), or "Photography & Video"? (more) |

What do you want to call this category? I worry that "Canonical Q&A" is a little "insider-speak". What do you think about "Library", "References", or "Resources"? Or do you prefer "Guides"? I have the impression content won't always be "basic" or "FAQ", but maybe I misunderstand. Anyway, we need... (more) |

@mattdm 1) yes. 2) working on a "change category" UI that can be trust-restricted, but in the meantime admins can move things manually for you. (I'm guessing you're not going to have a *ton* of those in the first couple weeks, so that should be fine.) (more) |

@Aquarius_Girl it'll be announced here on Meta first, and then since it's a new site I think we should give the founders a few days to build initial content via word of mouth, and then we'll announce it on the Codidact Announcements mailing list. (We want there to be content in place when we do that... (more) |

Are you (plural) saying that minimalism is more of a philosophy that pervades all aspects of one's life, the way some religions might? So just like you'd expect to find all your Jewish Q&A on a Judaism site, rather than food (kosher) ones on Cooking and workplace accommodations on Workplace and educ... (more) |

I think the second, too. People coming from SE might interpret a green box as "has accepted answer, no need for me to go there to help", which actually we don't know anything about that answer (and we don't have "acceptance" here). (more) |

Welcome! We'll want to separate this into one post per proposed site to make discussion easier, but first, as Art said, we'll want to make sure we'll have users for any of these. All of these topics are rich and *should* have lots of interest; are you working with any others (whether from SE or els... (more) |

Mathjax is on our "need soon" list for some other sites (right after we fix some issues with data import). If you don't need it on day 1 we can launch this site soon and add Mathjax support when it's ready. (more) |

What do you want for the name and URL? (And do you happen to have a logo in mind? We can give you something basic and you can replace it later if you like, but if you already have art ready, let us know.) (more) |

@scottbb that seems doable to me, but I'll defer to @ArtOfCode. We already know we need to be able to change the category of a post (through the UI), so bulk-changing all questions in category X having tag Y *sounds* doable. (Dropping the tag in the process, presumably.) (more) |

Sounds fine to me then. It sounds like tabletop games are going to be the focus, and if there are a few questions about LARPs the community will probably accept them too. Do you know of others (whether from SE or the broader gaming world) who'd be interested in helping to build this site? (I'm in ... (more) |

To *me*, role-playing games are inherently human-mediated, because role-playing allows pretty much anything to happen. But I don't play computer games and have no idea what terminology is in use there. What I'm wondering is whether we can drop the "tabletop" from the name here (to include the live-... (more) |

A: Photo-Video Codidact Site Here's where I think we are, based on my reading of all the answers and comments here. Please let me know if I've misunderstood anything. Categories would be basically as in this answer (noting that "blog" might actually be "resources" or something like that). For gear questions you can use the ... (more) |

SE has what I gather are successful sites for some other languages (German, French, Japanese...), where the sites are about the language itself. (I don't mean "SO in $language".) I don't know much about their successes and challenges, since I can't read a lot of the content. Do you have experience ... (more) |

Oh, I misunderstood too, thinking that LARPs would be off-topic as not tabletop games. I wonder if there's a term in the field for these human-mediated, broad-interpretation games as opposed to computer-mediated and thus less flexible? (more) |

I don't know if it's related, but yesterday I was writing a post with a multi-paragraph blockquote, and the preview showed me one block per paragraph instead of one big block no matter what I did. Eventually I ran out of ideas and decided to post and then file the bug report -- and the post was fine... (more) |
