New Q&A Format for July

This is an experiment, and we will all decide how it came out!

I would like to experiment with a new format for the Q&A sessions this month. You are welcome to share your thoughts on it in the comments, although I will ultimately ask for your feedback after having tried it once to see how you like it. Please do not submit questions for the question contest below, as those will go on the post I send out next, specifically for that purpose.
