I talked with dave a bit at apachecon and IIRC have some concerns
about how the permissions are implemented in the new external users
related code. I'd like to spend a bit of time looking at this and
see if I have any proposals or could submit a patch. What kind of
time frame are you thinking of for 4.1?
thanks

It was just the two of us. Although, I was disappointed that no
other Roller developers/users/contributors were able to attend, it
was nice to have Dave to myself for almost 2 hours.
We talked about a few subjects worth summarizing for the list.
Roller 4.1 Release Features
We added two features to the 4.1 Release Proposal <http://
cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ROLLER/Proposal+Roller+4.1
+Release>
* Turn Atom Publishing Protocol on by default, update
documentation, and test (http and https)
* Weblogs may optionally have a unique subdomain or a custom domain
Dave has some code for assigning unique URLs to each blog (not
checked in though, right Dave?)
Roller Release Schedule and Process
We also talked about the Roller Release Process. I noted that the
currently documented Release Plan <http://rollerweblogger.org/wiki/
Wiki.jsp?page=RollerReleasePlan> (which calls for monthly releases)
is not being followed. I recommended moving to Eclipse-like
milestone releases that would be tagged (and perhaps even branched)
in Subversion, but would not go through the full testing and
release process required to make a tarball.
Since Dave has already committed the code for External Users, Tag
Data API, and OpenSearch to the trunk, I asked him to tag it in
Subversion (suggesting 4.1M1 as the tag) He seemed to think this
was a good idea, but I don't want to say that he agreed to do
it :) (Dave?)
I'm waiting to test the External Users code with a system that I am
working on, and if it works reasonably well, I will be a able to
justify spending time helping with a Roller 4.1 release. I'm also
looking forward to trying out subdomain and custom domain blogs.
