Eagerly seeking Dreamwidth....

[icarus]

Invite codes to Dreamwidth... I just learned that (shockingly) auburnnothenna is looking for one. Auburn has a name that, like Icarus, gets grabbed pretty quickly.

If anyone has a spare invite code and no one to give it to (lurksnomore was generous enough to give a code to roaringmice on my behalf) I have two friends, elizabeth_rice and the illustrious auburnnothenna, who are looking for one.

I must say, I am so pleased to see how eager people are to join Dreamwidth.

It's a fork in LJ code. Which translates to: several former LJ people (who are also in fandom, synedochic and others) got together and said, "What if we could fix the problems with LJ? Not just clone it, but do it right?"

They made changes to the code, are using a slow growth model and paid accounts to pay for it, and have very fandom-friendly policies.

There are posts about it somewhere around here but it'll have to wait. I have class shortly and I'm scrambling to get my homework done.

Okay, thanks plenty for the info so far! I'm a bit less ignorant now.

so the goal is to improve livejournal without being part of the programming crew any more. But if they are former LJ people, how can they change the code? Or is this going to be a new and improved LJ?

It's going to be here: http://www.dreamwidth.org

They can change the code because LJ freely provides its code for anyone to copy (change, add to, etc.).

In theory it is going to be a new and improved LJ.
