quick updates to FAQs 86 (importing) and 4 (paid accounts) and 98 (crossposting)
1. Added the following paras to the Importer FAQ:
Edit: And that's what I get for late-night FAQ editing - being inaccurate! *facepalm* I've removed the custom filter paragraph, but need to rewrite it accurately, and won't be around for the rest of the day.
Basically, the practical visibility of a given imported entry depends on whether you import your "friends" along with your entries. (Importing your entries automatically imports your "custom security groups.")
If you do import your friends, said friends will not be able to see the custom-filtered entry unless they are logged into the OpenID of an account that had permission to see the entry on the old journaling site. So, say I put xb95-on-LJ in an LJ custom filter - any entries he could see on LJ, he would need to be logged into his xb95.livejournal.com *OpenID* on Dreamwidth to see those custom-filtered entries; won't work for him to be logged into his xb95-on-DW account.
If you don't import your friends, the CSGs will remain empty unless/until you decide to import your friends, and your custom filtered entries will only be visible to you.

I hope I wasn't stepping on any toes by doing so - support people were looking for a FAQ editor because of requests seen tonight and I happened to be around.
2. Added the following para to the crossposting FAQ:
And I added a line into the Account Features table in the Paid Accounts FAQ about the crossposting # of accounts bit.
(And now, bed, and back to Comms FAQs tomorrow! Happy open beta, guys!)
If you have set a default security level for your Dreamwidth entries, please note that entries you import will be posted with at least this security level. For example, if you have set a default security level of "access-only" for your Dreamwidth entries, any entries you import that were public in the journal you are importing will become access-only.Entries that were posted to a custom filter in your old journal will always be imported as private entries to your Dreamwidth, no matter your default security level.

2. Added the following para to the crossposting FAQ:
Free accounts can configure one external account to post to at a time. Paid accounts can configure up to three external accounts for crossposting, and Premium Paid accounts can configure up to five such accounts.
And I added a line into the Account Features table in the Paid Accounts FAQ about the crossposting # of accounts bit.
