Have to defer this question until we spec the parent/child account function -- it won't be immediately available. By then we'll have developed some kind of community-feedback-on-proposal system, too, so people can weigh in on their opinions on how it should function. > The second one is about cross-site functionality (and is something > I thought I read about long ago when I first heard about this > project, but I may have read wrong, so I wanted to get > clarification on it): > > > Cross-site functionality: wiki says can import from other sites, > but will DW users be able to read f'lists from other sites on DW > read lists?

Yes, when importing your content from another LJ-based site, the importer will automatically create a syndicated feed for every friend on another LJ-clone site. This means you'll be able to read any of their public posts on your DW reading list. 2). We're working on a way to solve the problem of cross-site authenticated RSS in a sane and not-evil way, to allow you to (at the very least) be notified that your friend on another site has posted a FO entry. This does not have an easy solution, and it won't be there by site launch. We want to solve it as quickly as possible, though. Mark and I have had some conversations about the best way to do it, but no solutions yet. 3). People will be able to comment on other LJ-based sites using their Dreamwidth account as an OpenID account, assuming that the journal owner hasn't blocked OpenID or anonymous commenting. --D -- Denise Paolucci [email protected] Dreamwidth Studios: Open Source, open expression, open operations.
