What ever became of the meeting with SE staff about the "future of Serverfault"?
Iain already linked to the only status-completed thing to come out of it; I have something else on my list for probably next spring. If @Chopper3 still has notes, I'll leave it to him.

Should folks have to click through an interstitial page to ask questions on Server Fault?
The percentage column is a percentage - the actual amount is in the "bad" column, @syneticon. Also note that new users are those with <10 rep - I'll see about getting a better breakout in soon, the one there was pretty quick n dirty. Actually... If this is something that interests you, consider posting a new question about it, since this is getting long.

Different time period, @Iain. Yeah, I should probably stop changing that every time I query for something.

See my edit, @Iain. tl;dr: you're wrong.

The association bonus should put you past the new user restrictions, @Iain (that's kind of the point). No way to separate "new to the site" and "new to the network" at the moment.

Yeah, we're definitely looking to change the default wording - see the last quote (and screenshot) above for what we'd like to try first, and let me know if you have any tweaks.

Sure you're not thinking of "/questions/how-to-answer shown and skipped"? There's one for answers too, shown when an answer falls below a certain quality score threshold.

Should Server Fault stop accepting questions from unregistered users?
Before y'all get too excited over the possibility of a 13% reduction in bad questions, read this...

How many "bad" questions come from unregistered users versus registered users?
Blocked automatically by the quality filter, of course. Also, I'm not Jesus.

Why the major FAQ/help change?
FWIW, the first change is fairly trivial - so it's done. The second, Chopper took to MSO (I think?)
