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Some parts of the wiki might be out-of-date with current policies and practices--if you need official confirmation of anything here, check in IRC (there's usually someone there that can tell you) or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, 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].! You can email her at skittisheclipse@gmail.com or check out the official community [info]dw_wiki as well--any post or comment you make there would also be seen by her.

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

For Dreamwidth Users

If you are in need of an invite code, check out Getting Invite Codes.

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.

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.

For Dreamwidth Volunteers

Projects that must be completed before launch: Dreamwidth.org: Pre-Launch.
