Are you posting about this here looking for input/ideas, or simply as a case study of >what Eliezer described?

What kind of answers are being given to "is this the community we meant to create"?

Primarily as a case study, though input is certainly welcome.

There's division in the moderation staff about the site should develop. Some feel that we should work on being more approachable to people who want to learn what to do without learning why - concise and easily-found guides, user-friendly models, etc. Others prefer the status quo and would rather improve information sharing across different models to reduce wasted effort in mechanics testing. The first group is hoping to encourage discussion of subjective topics by attracting new posters while the second group is fine with finding those discussions on other sites.
