More Maintainer Shuffling

[cos]

dustriderma has stepped down as a maintainer, after admitting he wasn't really interested (which is why most of you probably didn't realize he ever was one :).

pheromone (who I've known for about twice as long as LJ has existed) has joined as a community maintainer. We invited her because she offerred to design a better look for the community.

I love layouts similar to food_porn. They have way more tags than we would ever need, but the layout makes it very easy to find anything.

But even there, if I try to post the community, I just get a fill-in blank for Tags, rather than a menu.

I'm not sure where you're referring to. The Update Journal page is particular to the user, not the community. Note that you can post to any LJ you have posting access to from the same page -- afaik, there is no way to define how that will look for other users.

(But if anyone does know a way to do something along those lines, please speak up!)

If I go to food_porn, then click on "Post to this community" at the top of the page, I get this posting page, which is specific to food_porn. But "Tags:", near the bottom of the posting page, is still a fill-in blank, rather than a menu of possible tag choices.

I could be wrong here, but the only way I know of to see a menu of tags is to post first and then use the tag icon on the post. That icon takes you to the page where you can add tags either by filling in or selecting from the menu. As far as I know, there's no way to see a menu from the original "post an entry" page.

That's the way I always do it, and while it is an extra step, it's just a matter of seconds. It doesn't, however, solve the problem of how to get community members to actually do that...

I know there's a way to suggest features to the LJ staff. Maybe a menu option should be suggested, if it's not already in their queue.

Right, vegancooking has a similar basic feel and is what I was thinking of.

Yeah, something like that.
