Reading through the progress report, when I saw that you had individual and community journal icons, I thought of something. Two somethings.
One, you may want to identify sub accounts (of the ongoing master/sub accounts) as such. (or, maybe you don't. I don't feel strongly either way, although I do have a slight preference that different account types are visibly different.) Two, I really, really, really, really, really want that anyone who is officially speaking for Dreamwidth be easily and officially identified. Like, if you could create a staffer account with its own separate icon, that would be the most awesome, but, failing that, an icon that you used when making an official statement and a statement on your userinfo that sometimes you were speaking officially plus a link to a Dreamwidth site page with a current list of staff (so we could see if someone had become disassociated but hadn't gotten around to changing their userinfo yet.) One of the things that made LJ crazier the past few years is that new people came on and were staff (and you had to take their word for it, if their first appearance was in comments, instead of by posting in an official comm) or people left and weren't staff but you had to find out through gossip or following their personal journal or some really broken way involving close reading of official announcements or the LJ Herald. *I* know at this point that DW is Denise and Mark. But (a) I suspect that there will be additional staffers at some point (I project your growth will be just that amazing!) and (b) there will be people joining the site after launch who won't know that, and need to know how seriously to take this guy they've never heard of in comments. That's some pretty low hanging fruit, I think, but it would improve the site interaction over LJ about twelve trillion times. -- zvi likes television website - http://www.slashx-files.com/ journal - http://zvi_likes_tv.livejournal.com/ _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
