When will quarterly data dumps resume?
Thank you for providing a one-off data dump. While that is helpful, it does not directly address the question posed.

Why is Stack Overflow suddenly orange (#FFEFC6)?
Is there any way to find out the significance of the orange background without coming to meta? So so undiscoverable.

How can we avoid Facebook questions being mistakenly downvoted/closed?
@Cody I was referring to the Facebook Developers Group as having low S:N ratio, not SO.

How can we avoid Facebook questions being mistakenly downvoted/closed?
While I agree this seems to be the "official guidance", it is about 10 steps backwards from the discussion forums. It is simply a wall of posts with no ability to search them or structure them by topic. The signal to noise ratio is as bad or worse than the developer forums, and it is nearly impossible to focus in on a specific subject area. I guess this is not a SO problem but a Facebook fail in serving their developer community.

Facebook.SO for all developer support, not just programming?
Facebook developers need a Q&A site for non-programming topics such as Facebook platform policy. Not discussion/community, but real answers with upvotes. It would be better to have a separate Stack Exchange site for Facebook developers so it would be inclusive of the broader scope of questions that need answers (and got answers on the soon to be read-only Facebook developer forums)

Why did I only get 275 rep on an accepted bounty of 500?
Ahmad's comment above resolved my last question about this. The alt-text does make it a bit confusing.

Thanks I understand the 550/275 math adding up now, which implies it was awarded as an auto-accept. Do auto-accepts still say "The question owner accepted this as the best answer yesterday."? Seems like it should say something different if it was an auto-accept, or that it should say the bounty was awarded and then say the owner accepted it to reflect the sequence of actions, if that is in fact what happened.

I think I get it. The full bounty was 550 (500 from the asker and 50 from the system) and I got half of that, so it must have been an auto-accept? It says the question owner accepted my answer yesterday, and the bounty was also awarded yesterday. Does that mean it was accepted by the owner after the bounty was auto-awarded? Or do auto-accepts appear the same as if the owner explicitly accepted?
