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] -- 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!)

Not that I know of but if you look at the tags in that comm (http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/tag/), you can browse what's been suggested before.

Mmm, true, but. Iono, that's different. Kind of intimidating, though probably that's just me. *laughs* Also there are So Many Things what would 'thing x' be classified as, etc, etc.

If it helps any, you can also search for terms you think would be in such a suggestion:

Hmmmmm. That's an idea, I guess! *ponders*

I will poke it more when I have time to get lost in the comm again. *facedesk* It's as bad as the TvTropes hole appears to be, though TvTropes doesn't tend to eat my brain.
