Yes. When I volunteer to admin, but not publish, I am saying that I am not going to be a blogger (if I can avoid it.) I would only correct obvious errors and omissions. There should be at least one other admin as well. (An aside - I experimented with Roller quite a bit a few years ago. We had it running in Tomcat with different Domain Names in different VHosts. That required weird symbolic links and a configuration that makes Apache Tomcat developers sick. Roller seems to load about 4000 classes.) > * Note invitations must be to existing blog accounts, and blog accounts are > created by Infra (mainly me) and are not LDAP aware at this stage. I take it you would like to batch the account setup. Do you want to start a clock on the first signups? Say 72 hours?
