Dreamwidth Development AMA for July

[karzilla]

One of the things I want to start doing as DevCom on a semi-regular basis is encouraging people to come to me with any questions they have about Dreamwidth development, large or small. I want to do this in two ways: for people who prefer real time chat, I will start holding IRC office hours, and for people who prefer threaded comment discussions, use this post as a springboard!

You can ask me absolutely anything related to Dreamwidth and I will answer to the best of my ability. Don't be shy!

This. As sub-questions, what are the ongoing big projects at the moment?

Is tt being abandoned? (ie is foundation as well as or instead of). If so, why?

As I told allen I am going to work on a proper State of the Dev type post over the next week or so, but in the meantime, let me address your TT vs. Foundation question.

TT is not being abandoned; it is the templating language that is replacing BML across the site. Foundation is a newer initiative that provides more dynamic styling (think CSS with variables) to allow us to make the site more responsive and mobile-friendly.

All of the pages that use Foundation have been converted to TT. Not all of the pages that have been converted to TT use Foundation, but we aim to fix that in the near term.

I hope that answers your question! Let me know if I need to clarify anything.
