Main Page

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.

Dreamwidth's fearless leaders (they deny being fearless) use the wiki too, but that doesn't necessarily mean that everything here is up-to-date with their current opinion on things. If you need official confirmation of anything here, check in IRC (there's usually someone there that can tell you) or contact the appropriate project leader (contact info is on the Who page). When in doubt, information on official Dreamwidth Communities trumps any information here.

If you're new to Dreamwidth (and somehow managed to find the wiki before the production site!), check out the following: dreamwidth.org, Dreamwidth.org: FAQ, and Notable Dreamwidth Reading.

If you have any questions or problems with the wiki, talk to User:Foxfirefey, who is the totally awesome goddess of everything Wiki! The best way to contact her is emailing skittisheclipse@gmail.com. Check out our official community dw_wiki as well!

If you're looking for something specific, check out Category:Index.

For Dreamwidth Users

Check out the Compatible clients page for LJ clients compatible with Dreamwidth.

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.
