Actually, I don't think I've seen this particular interface question answered yet. In LJ, there's only one Friends list, so there's only one window to draw people from to populate filters, and it's entirely up to the user to decide whether to use that as a reading filter or a trust filter. Has it been decided yet what it's going to look like on DW?
Once the flist is split, will there be two different populate-from windows in the Custom Groups dialogue, one of the Trust list and one of the Watch list? Or will both still be dumped into a single window? Or will it just be the Trust list that can be filtered? I know I, too, would still want to be able to filter my Watch list into reading groups, so that last would be a definite reduction in utility, and the second would seem to run against the whole purpose of splitting the list. Can we hope for door number one?
