Dreamwidth looks fantastic on paper.I tried very early on to get ilvnoved with Dreamwidth. I am not a coder. I was pretty much shunted to Blog about us! status. I'm a sysadmin. My offers of sysadmin help were met with Sure, you can help! and then getting ignored when I would ask for details of where I could help (ie. We need help with X would not come with access to X). My offers of help with support stuff were met with, We're doing everything the way LiveJournal did it, only this time With Feeling! Suggestions on how to improve/change/update things were ignored. Offers of assistance in various areas were ignored. I know you can't change the world overnight, but it became apparent to me that the only diversity encouraged in DW are for coders and LJ-ex-cronies. After months of trying to get ilvnoved I redirected my energies for other Open Source projects that can use them.Yeah, I'm bitter about my experiences with DW. I wish them the best and I hope they're still around 10 yrs from now. But everytime I read about how open DW is I can't help but think, Sure, it's open for everyone but me and probably others.
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
