Another issue that's come up with site copy work. Sometimes, when updating things, you'll want to make changes that are beyond the scope of what we can do with the translation system. For instance, we might need an old section of a page that isn't relevant any more ripping out entirely, or we might want to be able to replace "this user" with the actual username of the user in question, in a user tag. If you come across anything like this, edit the current translation strings as best as you can, ut then add the change you think needs making to http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Site_copy_issues_requiring_changes_in_code

As an extra added bonus, I suspect that a lot of these will end up being things that make good first tasks for baby coders wanting to get involved.

FYI: functionality change

We have a bug open right now to change the "14+" adult content setting to "13+" (for many reasons), so please be aware, while you're writing site copy/docs/etc, that we should be referring to it as 13+ and not 14+.

(Long story. Short version is: doing it to fall more in line with 'PG-13' and the COPPA regulations.)

Might it be useful to create a "What are communities?" FAQ? I've seen it happen (on LJ at least) that people are told "you want to post your $foo in a community, etc. etc." - people that are new to DW will not know what communities are or why they're different from personal journals (or even that they're different, maybe.)

I'm not exactly volunteering for it, just wanted to throw it out as a suggestion.

Heads up: possible instability in FAQ storage and display

[pauamma]

Bug 566 may cause momentary instability in FAQ storage and display. You should make sure to make copies of your FAQs (and of your changes) outside Dreamwidth until further notice.

ETA: When the patches are reviewed, I (or whoever beats me to it) will check with rho before committing them.
