Dreamwidth Q&A Session
I realized this morning that it has been quite some time, so I figured it would be a good time for another Dreamwidth Q&A session!
Got a question on how the business end of DW works? Curious about the progress on a particular feature? (Although I can probably answer that for you by saying: we're working on paying down our technical debt so that we can move forward on a lot of the planned features; it got to the point where we couldn't progress further without making some aggressive modernization of the existing codebase.) Wondering what an average day in the life of a DW employee is? Got that one question that you've been vaguely wondering about for ages, but never felt like it was "important" enough to make a support request to get the answer on? Want to know if it really is that cool being able to work from home without wearing any pants? (Answer: yes, especially when it's 85 degrees F in my office and the air conditioners won't be delivered and installed for at least another day or two.)
Comment here, and we will answer!
(Just a reminder: you may receive comments or replies from people who know the answer to your question, but aren't officially DW staff. If the person who answers you doesn't have the official "staff" userhead --![[staff profile]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_staff.png)
-- they are not DW staff. They may be correct -- if they aren't, I will be sure to answer and clear up any misconceptions -- but they are not speaking ex cathedra Dreamwidth, so to speak!)
No question too big, no question too small. There's also previous Q&A sessions and the Business FAQs to browse through!
(Answers may be a bit slow depending on computer woes and additional stuff going on, but we will answer!)

Are there any plans to build a dreamwidth iPhone app so that we smartphone types can read and post to dreamwidth easily without having to deal with silly Safari nonsense (and teeny tiny type)?
Thank you!

Nobody's really shown any interest in adopting a desktop client project, but we would eagerly welcome one if someone wanted to! (The GSOC student who was going to be working on it last summer disappeared.) We have had a few nibbles, but on the whole our people's talent base is in web programming, not desktop application programming. If anybody wanted to take up the project and run with it, though, we'd welcome it with open arms.

From the horse's mouth, as it were...
It.. kind-of exists, I promise...

Also, have you thought about doing something like a vGift or some other thing to raise money for specifically putting out mobile DreamWidth applications? Not everyone's a fan of Virtual Gifts but I haven't minded getting them for myself or others when they're a way to raise money for charity or a service that would be beneficial.

I'll gladly help test when you have something testable. I'll also make a stab at wrapping my head around .NET if you're using the C++ flavor, or possibly even the VB flavor. I make no promises, however, because I'm flaky. :(
