What's the current extent of DW draft capability?

I'd love to have drafts for multiple posts going at once, but I'm not sure if that's an option. If it is, how would I choose to work on one particular draft as opposed to another? Any clarification y'all can offer would be much appreciated.

It's not possible yet. A spec was posted long ago (Bug 29), but that seems to be as far as it's got.

Thank you! Now, off to figure out how to leave 'I'm another person who'd like to see this happen' feedback in the appropriate place.

The draft post feature is still in development. The most recent info I've seen was this post in October at dw_biz asking for thoughts on how the feature should work.

And that's the place to leave feedback for which I was searching. Thank you!

my workaround for drafts is to simply save it as a private entry and save it periodically as such while i'm working on it. then copy&paste into a fresh entry once i'm done, and delete the old entry. not the most elegant method, but it works.

Hm. Not a bad suggestion. And isn't there that 'update date' function somewhere in the bottom options area?

And one can have them tagged "draft" or something, to help find them.

I'm glad you're copying into a new entry, because simply making the old entry public is doomed to disappointment because of how stuff appears on the reading pages.
