Question thread #37
It's time for another question thread!
The rules:
- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

The good news is that Dreamhacks are virtual environments that you don't have to worry too much about maintenance on -- Sophie takes care of the server-wide stuff and all you have to worry about is keeping your copy of the code up to date and the like. :)
And welcome to DW development! We're thrilled to have you. If you're going to be submitting patches, you'll need to submit a Contributor Licensing Agreement, which will allow us to use your code, and the Dev Getting Started page on the wiki has a bunch of useful tips.
