Site tour

[denise]

So, sophie and I are sitting down to work out what the site tour should consist of (bug 209) and I thought I'd open it up to dw_docs -- what kind of things do you think should be highlighted in the tour?

This should not be a "what's different from LJ" -- it should be a feature-based "what makes us a good place to be". (We'll do a "switching from LJ or other LJ-based site" Guide, as well as a "switching from Wordpress", from TypePad, etc, etc, all as separate documentation.) It can reference our ideological differences, but for this part of it I want to concentrate on features.

I think I would emphasise the logged-in user's control over their experience -- cover all the various ways controls they have and the fact that a philosophical and policy choice drives this means that the logged-in user will always be given control where possible.

Because that is something that makes dreamwidth fucking shiny from a usability/accessibility point of view and is a far from insignificant part of why I will never fucking read blogs natively again. RSS feeds fed into my reading page, thank you.
