ATTN: client devs: Two changes to the protocol: tweak to addcomments, added getreadpage

[fu]

We put out two changes to the protocol with this code push:

• addcomments now has a journal parameter, a feature adopted from LiveJournal code


• getreadpage is a new function that's been added, and is equivalent to getfriendspage does on LiveJournal.
  
  getfriendspage is deprecated, and will return an error message telling you to use getreadpage instead.
  

If you're writing a client and there's some data you're interested in that's not currently available through the protocol, let us know!

What do you find difficult on a Dreamhack?

[sophie]

Hi all!

As the maintainer of the Dreamhacks service, I'm curious about how everybody's getting on with it and whether there's anything people would really like to have to make dev work easier.

For example, one thing I'm going to be working on is a way to make it easier to set up, start and stop the various auxiliary services that Dreamwidth uses, such as memcached, Gearman, and TheSchwartz. I'm hoping that this'll make it easier to work on bugs that need these services.

But I'd also really like to hear from people about the things they find most difficult when working on a Dreamhack. This can be anything - maybe our wiki's confusing or not quite up-to-date, or maybe you can't figure out the command you need to type to do something.

I want to make things as accessible as I can to everybody, new and experienced alike, so please let me know in the comments what you really wish was easier to do on a Dreamhack! I'll go through the comments later and see what I can do to help - for example, by programming a script for everybody to use on the server, editing the wiki, or simply answering a question if that's all that's needed!
