One of the things she mentions near the end is that we need to mingle JQuery with the existing Javascript the site uses.<br /><br />This is a big change for how the site works, and it means that things could go wrong when it goes live. We now have a way you can turn on beta testing so that we can see how the new code will operate on a day-to-day basis.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dreamwidth.org/betafeatures">If you want to check it out, you can!</a> If you notice any weird behavior, please let us know - you can comment here.<br /><br />A couple things to note: not all the features you might enjoy right now will be available in beta testing, because not everything has been rewritten yet. There's a list available on that same page, and you don't need to report those things because our excellent devs are already working on them.<br /><br />At any point in time if you want to switch back, you can just go to the same page and turn beta features off.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dw_beta&ditemid=11357" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
