Are we trying to make a more friendly/welcoming site?

I think that @celtschk expressed it pretty good in another thread.

@celtschk

If you scare too many experts away, you lower the chance to get a good answer. But on the other hand, if you raise the bar on asking a question too much, people will simply go to another place where it is easier to ask. There’s a sweet spot where enough experts (not all of them!) feel comfortable, and at the same time enough new users (again, not all of them) feel the effort worth the results.
