chasy, did you mean 'the dw community a a whole'?   Or
'dreamwidth.org/community/random-rpg-or-discussion-comm' which you as mod
may control the membership of?  I took it to mean the second, and that seems
both good and useful to me--I can see being able to easily post something on
my journal that was only for members of a comm to read being handy.  The
first one, I agree with zvi, not as useful...

Would your DW community included authenticated Open ID readers? Because in
that case, anyone, for the low, low price of remembering their Yahoo!, AIM,
or LJ-clone ID would be able to view your entry. And even if not ... anyone
for the relatively low price of US$3 or haunting an invite code comm for a
minute would be able to view your entry.

You'd basically be keeping out spiders, which is something people want to
do, but I'm not sure that DW membership is a meaningful identifier of
anything about a person except that they've ... heard of DW. It's a really,
really false level of security.

Would the following tier of security be possible in DW or would it
require a plethora of code changes?

"This entry viewable to:
[] public
[] DW community
[] friends
[] custom friends groups"

It's the "DW community" classification that I'm adding - so that
anyone part of the community can see the entry but not just any joe
schmoe surfing the web can see it.

I have a reason for wanting this feature but I'm not going to try to
explain it unless someone wants me to. It'd be clunky and long. :)
