As such, the design is incredibly important.

These two lists are completely independent of each other and can be used to watch someone without granting them access to your trust-only entries, or to allow someone access without watching them. This is considered one of the main shortcomings of the friending system in LiveJournal.

Dreamwidth is now in open beta!

This page details the main coding projects that must be completed by the launch of Dreamwidth.org. The site cannot launch out of beta without these projects being completed - in other words, these items are the blockers for launch. 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.
