Hi @snowe,

Would it be possible to request a community for mercurial , ref: https://mercurial-scm.org/ ?

Thanks

Would wordpress and web hosting communities be a fit here? Happy to be involved in it.

Could we get a CSharp community? So /c/csharp, display name C# (or C Sharp)

I would like to have community: Chipmunk2D.

Hundreds of shipping games have chosen Chipmunk because of the high quality, speed, and accuracy of its 2D physics simulations.

Request for a general (Unix) shell community! (shell and Shell Scripting) I made [email protected], so you can tell my intentions if you read the sidebar there. I'm having issues making posts there, though, and this instance makes more sense. I'm a current mod at /r/bash, and intend to reach out to the mods of sister subreddits if they want to join.

I originally was intending on all shell languages, but since we now have !powershell, I'd be fine with restricting it to Unix shells. I don't know pwsh or batch well anyway, I'd have to ask pwshguy to help!

Why not lang-specific communities like !bash?

1. Scripting fundamentals translate very well between languages, not to mention tools like awk, jq, and others are common to many.
2. In practice, there was a far more overlap than not within the different subreddits; both users and content.

If you disagree with combining sister languages as a policy, that's fine! I'd request both bash/The Bourne-Again Shell and zsh/The Z Shell.

Yo can we get one minecraft 'mc_dev' 'Minecraft Development'

Hey! Can we have one for Go as well?

Can we have something like nostupidquestions but for computer science/software engineering topics? Would be very helpful for beginners and could probably be a pool where people can ask stupid questions without fear.

Is there a place here (whether a community or just a thread somewhere) for self promotion? Sort of a "show off what you've been working on this week" sort of deal?
