This is one of the major advantages of our being open source! People can scratch their own itches, whether by suggesting things or by patching them, and it makes things better for everybody. (And it's a major benefit to our "if it doesn't hurt anybody and it doesn't detract from our ideas for the site, why not do it?" philosophy when it comes to moving suggestions over to the bug queue -- one never knows when something that's incidential to us is somebody else's killer app!)

I heard someone say once that a major reason to move to DW wasn't any of our huge major features, but the sheer weight of all the associated little cleanup work and improvement we've been doing. I really had to smile at that, because it's one of the things I enjoy most: doing those little finishing touches that just show attention to detail. My father's a carpenter, and he taught me to pay attention to everything, not just things people will notice first, and I like to think it spills over :)

(Don't mind me, I'm just full of Dreamwidth love today. *g*)

Oh, and I should also add, if you do get a chance to come play with us, we'd love to have you. dw_dev_training is a great place to get help and guidance, and so is the the wiki. And we offer hosted development environments, too, so you don't have to figure out how to install the code yourself!
