If you can't think of five tags a SE site could use, then your proposal will quite likely be closed as "not a real proposal" anyway.

Unless you don't have a clue about that subject and just try to get badges for proposing it first...– Tobias KienzlerCommented Sep 6, 2010 at 9:05

I'm not entirely sure this is a good idea to start proposal about subject you don't know.– HoLyVieRCommented Oct 13, 2010 at 3:52

@HoxLyxVierx: why? if you can't make up five tags to bring some ordering in your proposal there won't be many questions (therefore not requiring ordering, but also being a too small proposal to pass beta). Of course this could be softened into "require at least five tags for entering commitment phase"– Tobias KienzlerCommented Oct 13, 2010 at 7:03

A good idea, but ...
I worry that creating pre-defined tags so early would affect the example questions people submit, though -- and the example on and off topic questions are by far the best way to figure out what a site "is".

1maybe they should remain hidden and only become visible for followers after having posted five example questions. I just think this is some way to help proposers thinking deeper about whether their idea would really create a Q&A site of its own or whether it shouldn't be generalized a bit (or closed as subset) Commented Oct 18, 2010 at 11:22

I was able to award you the bounty despite a "This bounty ended 25 mins ago", is this a bug or a nice new feature for those like me who forgot to award the bounty in time? Commented Oct 19, 2010 at 7:24

@tobias there is a tiny grace period but it's simply based on the odds of when your bounty ends versus when the hourly task runs Commented Oct 19, 2010 at 13:45
