Hi,  
as the Probabilistic Programming Languages (PPL) field in Julia seems to grow more and more, with lots of interesting packages and approaches it might be a good time to add a `Probabilistic Programming` Domain to [discourse.julialang.org](http://discourse.julialang.org). This would allow people working on PPLs to connect better and users of PPLs to find a place where they can ask questions and find archived answers.

What do the admins think about this?

Not an admin but just want to say that I think that’s a great idea. 🙏

i can’t create domains, i can create tags. but probabilistic-programming seems too long for discourse to create. This can be a good subdomain of the “Domains” Domain

Correct, I was talking about creating a sub-domain under Domains on [julialang.discourse.org](http://julialang.discourse.org). Similar to the Machine Learning sub-domain it would be nice to have a Probabilistic Programming sub-domain.

Do Tags also have to be added by admins or can we do this as the community?

Tags can be manipulated by Regulars, which is a title granted to users who meet certain requirements on Discourse (I think it’s a certain amount of activity over some period).

Here we go! [Probabilistic programming - JuliaLang](https://discourse.julialang.org/c/domain/probprog)

Thanks a lot!
