For people installing the Dreamwidth code
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.
