X-Posting to LJ With Pre-Specified Friend Groups?

I have a friend on LJ considering a move/starting a journal @ DW. He asked the following:

"On LJ, I have organized my friends into 'friend groups', so that I can post some things that are visible only to my friends in Ohio, some only visible to my friends in Boston, and various other groups. Does DW support cross-posts that take advantage of LJ's 'friend groups'?"

Does DW currently have this capability? Is it in the works? Or should I open up a suggestion form on my friend's behalf?

It's already there - just make sure the groups have the same name on both DW and LJ (which it will do automatically if you import) and it'll respect it when cross-posting.

Also, make sure he understands how DW has split reading filters from access filters!
