My first thoughts were that this group feels "cliquey". There are a lot of in-phrases and technical jargon floating around, which to an outsider can be very intimidating.

I think ameliorating that issue is one of the main reasons for the Less Wrong wiki. Is it helpful in even its current state?

We could add a "Jargon request" category, so if you want to know what a term means and Google can't tell you, create a page on the wiki and just put {{pagewanted}} in there, and then I or someone else might notice and fix it.

EDIT: I've done this.
