I know nothing of Less Wrong's maintenance approach - it seems to be maintained by a small handful of very busy people - but it would seriously surprise me if this community, disproportionately composed of programmers as it is, couldn't come up with the code to implement any solution the administrators found suitable.

This surprise has been repeatedly expressed, and volunteers raised their hands, but almost nothing came out of it. As far as I know, Trike does a small amount of code maintenance and an occasional simple feature, that's it.

I wonder, does it have an API? Though, if it doesn't, I suppose someone could just as easily add one.

That said, I'll admit it: I'm perfectly capable of writing and/or extending the Lesswrong codebase, but I'm not going to. At least, not right now.

Does the site need improvements? Lesswrong seems worth helping, but it also appears to me that things are working just fine right now. Is there reason to think this is incorrect?
