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!)

So if, say, Google Reader wanted to authenticate feeds, it would need to store your password, and you'd be giving Google Reader access to all the content you have access to on LJ. The way Greader works is it checks the feed once and stores that info for all readers, whereas authentication would require they check it for each individual reader.
