LiveJournal is an ongoing project, and its developers are always working to introduce new features or improve on existing features to make them more efficient and reliable. The ideas for these new features and improvements often come directly from users.
If you have an idea that you don't think has been thought of before, the proper forum for your suggestion is Suggestions (
http://www.livejournal.com/suggestions/). Before you post your idea, you should be sure that your idea hasn't been previously suggested. You can do this by checking the memories (
http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=suggestions), and by reading over the most recent posts to Suggestions at
http://www.livejournal.com/community/suggestions/. If you would like to skim the recent entries before reading through each one of them, you can read the summary view for the community at
http://www.livejournal.com/customview.cgi?username=suggestions&styleid=193636. This may help you identify recent suggestions that are similar to your idea.
After making sure your idea hasn't been previously thought of and suggested, you should read the posting guidelines at
http://www.livejournal.com/suggestions/, and submit your idea using the Suggestion Proposal Generator. Be sure to fill out each field of the template, carefully following the formatting instructions given. Please proofread your suggestion carefully before you submit it, because many people may read it. The Suggestions community is moderated, so your suggestion will not appear immediately.
After you submit your suggestion, people who watch the community will discuss your idea and possibly make further suggestions or improvements. If, after a discussion period, your idea seems feasible, the maintainers of the Suggestions community will migrate your suggestion to the LiveJournal bug- and project-tracking database, and will comment on the suggestion making note of this. If the idea seems unfeasible, maintainers will comment with a note of that, and it will not be migrated at that time, but might be re-evaluated in the future.
Suggestions that are migrated and eventually implemented will be announced in the Feature Announcement community when they are available (
http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=featureannounce). There is no set timeline for eventual implementation. Suggestions that are migrated but ultimately not implemented because of development issues will receive another comment to the suggestion entry noting that.
