I think it's considered unlikely that LJ will vanish overnight.

Obviously it would be a good feature to be able to advertise in the current climate :) > ...however, if this were a farmable task... there may be a number of > coders such my myself who would jump on the task!

I can't speak for the project (I'm just lurking around interested in helping out and, eventually, signing up), but I'd be very surprised if people actively developing tools for it wouldn't be considered useful beta testers.
