It is my understanding that they haven't done much at slashdot as the issues with sourceforge were much more pressing.

As such I haven't seen any changes occur at slashdot since the take over. I've only seen the slow, steady decline of slashdot continue. Which is unfortunate because every once and a while you see the low UID people make some stellar comments and it reminds me why I stick around despite vastly superior alternatives like hackernews.
