Re 3: I'll keep my eye out for some anonymous posts that fit the bill.
Re: above the fold: Your suggestions sound good. The general checklist provided by whakka might be another option. I think the main work here is prioritizing: working together to get a read on the top 3-4 things that will give the first time or newish poster biggest payoff. Also I think we need to avoid "shouting" in the lead - entire sentences in bold is only one step away from all caps. It is not likely to invite people to read on for more details. (just my opinion).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
