A starting point is the [proposal](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278833).  I'm going to quote from the question and from [this answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/278908#answer-278908).  Again, these are starting points.

Our current short description:

> Power User Codidact is a community where computer enthusiasts (power users) ask and answer questions about software and hardware usage.

That was derived from this in the proposal:

>  I was thinking more of a community related to software applications usage more than OS tweaks, so "Software Applications Codidact" sounds well for me. This should include office applications + others [...].
> 
> Another option would be to have a broader community to encompass both system tweaks and application usage which might be named "Power User" (it sounds great IMO).

From the answer I linked:

> # On-topic 
>
> - questions about the usage of communication applications such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Discord.
> - questions about office applications such as MS Office, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Libre Office, and Open Office ([examples](https://software.codidact.com/categories/38/tags/3771))
> - questions about command-line interfaces ([example](https://software.codidact.com/questions/278899))
> - questions about browsers usage (e.g. tweaking some setting lead to page display issue on a particular web site)
> - questions about the usage of e-mail clients
> - questions about operating system usage (settings, trying a new OS etc).
> - questions about any software application (even more obscure ones), as long as enough details to reproduce the issues are provided (OS, software version etc.)
> - questions about software recommendations? (to be discussed)
> - questions about computer hardware usage. This includes video games and consoles
> - questions about _personal_ networking (i.e. home networks)
> 
> # Off-topic
>
> - questions about software development
> - questions about video games, unless they are related to the infrastructure (i.e. issues with using a gaming console)
> - questions about usage of Web applications, sites, or services such as social networks

That answer has a couple downvotes; I don't know if it's because of something in this proposed scope or something else (the answer is broader).  This is approximately what we had in mind when we said "yes, there seems to be enough interest (and enough questions that are off-topic where they're asked but would fit here".
