Who's got stuff for the update? I don't know if I'll be able to get to it tonight (we're driving home from Boston), but still ...

Not sure if it is update material, but I'm hyping [community profile] ladiesbigbang wherever I can for the mod. It's allowing not only fic for the "Bang" but podficcing, picspams, graphic work...

We talked about promoting [community profile] dreamwidth_idol? It's up and running and things seem to be going good so far.

Summer of Code: we've had 10 people or so contact us so far. Everybody interested should read http://dw-dev.dreamwidth.org/42626.html to learn more about SoC as it relates to Dreamwidth.

Payment system is coming along well. I'm not sure how much is worth saying, but Dreamwidth will be the site handling the incoming credit card information. We then forward it via an encrypted SSL connection to the remote payment processor. It's never stored on our servers. But eh, not sure if you want to go into that.

Oh yeah, I mentioned in suggestions that we might want to promote to news the @user Twitter-style of addressing to see if we can get more feedback on the idea to see what people who don't read the weekly updates think.

[community profile] volunteers is languishing, but I'm not sure mentioning it in news would help.

We've been hearing a lot about the community posting bug recently. It will be fixed with the next codepush sez Fu, but it might be worth mentioning it. The Issues FAQ is here: http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=202

Also, new IRC home may be worth mentioning along with the main channels: #dreamwidth, -dev, -kindergarten, -support?

Holy moly, I saw you mention that place before, but for some reason I thought it was a different community that had closed posting and whatnot and never went and saw it was something different. ::joins::

In hindsight, I might have gotten confused and said dw_volunteers meaning volunteers.
foxfirefey: Dreamwidth: social content with dimension. (dreamwidth)

Late addendum: THREE posts have been made to [community profile] dreamwidthlayouts this week. That's really gratifying from a styles perspective and it'd be awesome to highlight that and point it out as a place you can share styles that don't need to go through the whole official [site community profile] dreamscapes rigmarole.

There were totally three, but it looks like one of the offerings was taken down when somebody reported a problem, until it can be fixed:
