I actually don't have strong opinions about what the solution should be, and I believe Denise when she says that the current livejournal model doesn't work and shouldn't be duplicated. I just wanted to have registered a concern early on about any solution that involves entirely separate sites for different languages. If it is in fact done that way, integration really does need to be entirely seamless--i.e., people like me need to be able to add people on a dreamwidth clone to our Trust and Watch lists, for example, and they need to be able to add me to theirs.
I understand that there won't be any solution for a while, and that's fine. But when one does start to be tackled, I'm hoping that the dreamwidth team will keep these things in mind. -- Jae/[email protected]/www.jaegecko.com/therealjae.livejournal.com "If you must put me in a box, make sure it's a big box with lots of windows and a door to walk through and a nice high chimney" -- Dan Bern, "Jerusalem" _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
