Hello! This is a wiki for keeping notes on Dreamwidth's continuing evolution. Those involved can use this wiki as a resource for discussion, communication, answers, and occasional giggles.
Some parts of the wiki might be out-of-date with current policies and practices. If you need official confirmation of anything here, ask in the Dreamwidth Discord or contact the appropriate project leader. When in doubt, information on official Dreamwidth Communities trumps any information here.
If you're new to Dreamwidth, check out the following:

And what initiative would be complete without icons, banners, buttons and macros? If you want to make your own, there's stock imagery you can use. If you make a post about Dreamwidth (see Advocacy), we are making a list of Why Dreamwidth posts.
Even if you're not interested in volunteering, here's 101 Ways to Help Dreamwidth Grow. If you like the site, consider trying some of these things.
We also have an article about Finding Content On Dreamwidth.

We highly recommend people doing this seek assistance in the Discord channel. We'd love to help you out. You can also post to the dw_dev community for assistance.
If you're planning to install the Dreamwidth code to develop and contribute to the Dreamwidth project, you are welcome to do this -- however, if you'd rather not install it yourself, you can apply for a hosted dreamhack.
