This page details the five main coding projects that ''must'' be completed by the launch of [[Dreamwidth.org]].  The site cannot launch, even in beta, without these projects being completed - in other words, these items are the blockers for closed beta. [[Dreamwidth.org: Launch blockers]] is the list of things that must be done before moving from open beta to full site launch.

It should be noted that the projects listed here are only those which are connected to the code. There are other launch-based projects that need to be considered, but these are outside the scope of this document.

==Site scheme==

It should be noted that the projects listed here are only those which are connected to the code. There are other launch-based projects that need to be considered, but these are outside the scope of this document. There are also many minor bugs which must be completed by launch - this is just the "big projects".

'''''Description of project:''''' This is the site scheme that the service will use, which will not be released under the GPL. Note that this is different from the [[Dev Schemes]] and will go a long way to defining the feel of the site, as it will be present on nearly every non-journal page. As such, the design is incredibly important.

Dreamwidth is now launched!

This page details the main coding projects that were initially considered vital to the launch of Dreamwidth.org. The owners decided that the site had become stable enough to warrant removing the beta label, and it was removed on 2011 April 30. This list has not been fully checked against features that have since been implemented, and is out of date. Dreamwidth.org: Launch timeline is the list of things that must be done at each step.

It should be noted that the projects listed here are only those which are connected to the code. There are other launch-based projects that need to be considered, but these are outside the scope of this document. There are also many minor bugs which must be completed by launch - this is just the "big projects".
