Hi! I have no idea if this would fit or would be appropriate, but I thought I'd drop a note in case it did.
I wrote up a rather long illustrated post on Setting Up One's OpenID at Dreamwidth as part of a comm I just set up. I've noticed it's gotten a few mentions on my Network and thought it might prove useful and worth pointing out. However, if it's not appropriate that's cool; I'm not entirely sure of the inclusion protocol for the news post, and it's certainly not official documentation of any kind
When you get a chance, come join us in irc! We're on Freenode (irc.freenode.net), channel #dreamwidth. We do not bite. ....Much. Although we sometimes gnaw gently.
Screened! (Or will be as soon as I finish replying.)
We are terminally chill about newcomers to irc, I promise. And if you'd like to get a sense of the culture, there's always the quotes database, although that's really just one giant injoke sometimes. *G*
But yes, all you have to do is show up in irc and we will welcome you. It's not the All Tech All The Time channel; it's very much a microcosm of DW-the-service, so you get people who are working on all kinds of DW-related stuff and people who just like to hang out because it's fun. Although I'll warn you, hanging out in #dreamwidth means that sooner or later, you will get put in charge of something. (True story: the crossposter was written nearly entirely by someone who had been hanging out in irc with us during the run-up to closed beta because his partner was really interested in the project, and one morning when I was trying to get people to claim essential bugs, I jokingly told him that the project had his name written all over it. He delivered a working first draft, what, three weeks later?)
I see your sneaky ways! I shall successfully resist being in charge of something for two months (really), because, well, dissertation, but after that I suspect I'm going to be writing documentation. Mmmm, documentation.
*laughs* Well, I've survived my first thirty minutes unscathed, and I hold fast to the two month boundary. Granted, once said two months is up I'm beginning to expect that I'll wake up one day and say "wait, what did I agree to do at three in the morning again?"
