While I understand where you're coming from, I was disappointed to not see much about how to better participate on LW. Some elucidation of the implicit norms of what kind of posts or comments are worthwhile could be useful to newcomers. I also expect to find this useful. It may be difficult to make such norms explicit though.
I'd be grateful if someone could write a code of conduct (I'll think about it too). I'm myself pretty uneducated. The OP is basically the culmination of what I found out I should learn about, besides reading LW itself. I thought it could come in handy for those that seek to educate themselves.
Nonetheless, this is a great idea. Upvoted.

Just some quick ideas which may be ill-conceived as I myself seem to fail the norms quite often.
Can we taboo neurotypical now and avoid a lot of trouble in the future?
Perhaps the idea that we're trying to make Aumann agreement easy would work as an organizing principle. This means not being territorial about one's factual claims, and not adding emotional noise to disagreements.
The original edit was titled "Prerequisites for understanding and participating on LW", in line with cousin_it's post. The aim is to guide people to relevant information.
Maybe you could write one?
I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that yet. I've only been active in LW for about a month and a half. By spending a lot of time here I feel like I've become better at complying with these norms, but don't think I have a clear enough perspective to explicitly write them out.
