From what I was seeing overall question quality is going downhill, so on that hunch, Using Stack exchange's Data explorer ran the Following Query:

Select  CAST(year(CreationDate) as char(4))+'-'+CAST(DATEPART(wk,CreationDate) as char(2)) as week   ,count(1) as Cnt   ,avg(score) as Avg from Posts where CreationDate>dateadd(yy,-1,getdate())  group by   year(CreationDate)   ,DATEPART(wk,CreationDate)   order by year(CreationDate),DATEPART(wk,CreationDate)  

I then Graphed The Count and Average:

Our Average Question Score is Down a full point over the last year, whats going on?
