  • Yes, this is a good idea.
  • If you do that, seed the proposal with the new top level posts generated here from the Q&A category. Skip the other categories for now. Contests is cute, but there is nothing much worth saving that couldn't get re-created if people actually want it. It's debatable whether FAQ or Gear Recommendations should even be there at all. That's part of what the proposal phase should settle. There are also very few posts in those categories anyway.

Starting from scratch is a good way to re-create the site in a way that it won't be effectively blacklisted by search engines, probably hurting other Codidact sites in the process.
