I do know that the scheduling of posts has been brought up to them. Not sure about the user name tagging notifications, but I think the problem is DW only has two full time people (iirc) because they don't use ads and they won't accept any venture capital because they want to maintain ownership and keep the freedom for users to be able to post what they want. So there is no Strikethrough or the whole Tumblr purge in Dreamwidth's future, for example. That was really important to them (and one of the reasons I've always supported DW even though they don't update things very often and are very slow in this regard). They are completely funded by users buying paid time/icons, etc. Anyway, I do think scheduled posts is on their radar, I just don't know how far down their list it is. They do have a small team of volunteers but things just move really slow around here. But the payoff of that is no random out of the blue censorship and it's not going to be sold to a cooperation, etc. But yes, I do believe one of the big reasons why fests didn't move over here after the whole LJ TOS business was the scheduling. Torino and I moved Salt and Pepper over here and we've managed with the manually posting times, but that's a small fest so it's a lot easier to handle then something like Erised, I imagine!
