LessWrong needs an FAQ. Really. I can’t encourage everyone enough to look at the example of
MathOverflow.net. It has a fantastic FAQ that simultaneously makes the site less scary and the standards more evident. Yes, those goals aren’t entirely mutually exclusive!
And MathOverflow, created by 2 grad students, grew explosively in a matter of months to involve many famous mathematicans and even fields medalists.
There is more than speculation here… there is evidence we should be updating on.

Agreed, that seems obvious.
