Short version: you may find more active discussion on the Dungeon World Google+ Community: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100084733231320276299

Or the Dungeon World Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/dungeonworld

Long version: when we first started DW we created a forum here like every other hack. It was great for getting started, but at this point it's a bit of a pain. Especially when we attract so many new users, who Vincent then has to approve. Meanwhile, the Dungeon World Google+ Community has grown like crazy and has dozens of new great posts every day.

So, feel free to post here—we're still watching, and this forum will remain open. Just know that the Google+ Community is the most active dedicated DW discussion, and that you we also regularly read and respond to threads everywhere from RPG.net to Reddit.

At this point just about any retailer should be able to order copies from Alliance, our distributor. Your friendly local game shop probably knows Alliance, they can get DW from them.

We're looking at that now. The only things we might change are typo-level stuff, of which we've found a few. This is definitely not a "second edition" in any way. Not even really errata. Just "oh, duh, Sage can't type.

I just shipped IPR our last two boxes today. They may or may not be able to take more orders once they have those (they may need them to handle outstanding orders).

A few things:

First of all, they're always spouting lore about a thing (a concrete object or specific idea) not just "Tribes and Towers."

Then, the GM asks "so how do you know about <the thing you're spouting lore on>?" That narrows it down quite a bit. Does the thief really know about arcane creatures from the deepest depths?

Then, even if they trigger the move, they're always taking a risk. If they get that 6- result, something goes wrong. The GM gets to make a move. Is it really worth that risk?

Lastely, standing around and thinking for too long is likely a golden opportunity to the GM to make trouble. You can't just stand around a dungeon thinking and assume nobody will notice.

It's on my list of features I'd like to do, but not implemented. The codex code is open source, so maybe someone else can do it!

Sure. The wizard is his own ally (unless there's some weird mind control going on or something) and he can touch himself.

Making up new spells is an awesome idea!

Most spells don't have different effects on 7-9 vs. 10, so I'd think of lightning bolt as just a different effect than fireball. Stunning them seems likely, and there's always the classic area of effect vs. single target difference.
