PROFILE

METAMeta Stack Exchange is where users discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 149 Stack Exchange communities.

Community creation processEvery new site created in the Stack Exchange network goes through a detailed review process consisting of six steps:

Discussion: The Stack Exchange meta site provide a forum for discussing potential new ideas labeled a future Stack Exchange site.

Proposal: A public proposal will be drafted and posted so that any member of the community can discuss the proposal and vote on it. The proposal address these four key issues:

◦ the topic of the site◦ the targeted audience◦ forty exemplary questions, up voted at least 10 times from the community◦ sixty followers from the community

Commitment: 200 users interested in the new site are asked to formally commit and support the site by actively participating and contributing to it.

Private Beta: If the concept receives 100% commitment, the site enters the private beta phase, where committed members begin actively using the site and publicizing it.

Public Beta: The site is open to the public for a long period. This allows the creators to ensure that the site reaches critical mass before it is fully launched.

Graduation: The site is evaluated on multiple criteria such as the number of answered questions, new questions per day, and registered users. If it meets these criteria and is deemed "sustainable", it is granted a "graduation" and fully launched.
