Hi Dave, et. al. Sorry for reverting to lurker mode for the past few months. :(
I recently installed the 3.0 branch on my MacBook Pro and it looks really nice. I was wondering what the schedule was going to be. I'm ready to do some more testing.
I also want to propose an additional 3.0 feature if it is not too late: A rel="enclosure" plugin for podcasting and videoblogging.
If I write a proposal and the committers review and approve, I believe I could have a patch by Aug 15th. (I have a web page that discusses the issue and provides links to specs and other implementations here: http://www.msgilligan.com/rss-enclosure-bp.html)
Do you think this could make it into 3.0? Thanks, Sean Dave Johnson wrote:
The docs are up-to-date and bugs are under control. Here's an issue I'd like to resolve (and document in the Installation Guide) before the RC: We recently decided to ship only a couple of themes and plugins and we still need to figure out what to do with the themes and plugins that we don't ship with Roller. I'd like to propose that, not only should we remove them from the release, we should also remove them from Apache SVN. We should remove them from SVN and move them to the old Roller project at Java.Net and make them available for download there. Here's why: - We've already re-purposed the old Roller project site as the "Roller Support" site -- to host LGPL components and plugins/themes that depend on LGPL. - The extra themes and plugins aren't essential to the community of developers maintaining Roller. Ideally, Roller should ship with a couple really good themes/plugins and the rest should be provided an maintained by the community of Roller users. - By using the "Struts Applications" model, we can encourage more theme development by the community. Struts team members established a Sourceforge project to host Struts add-ons and contributors who don't necessarily have Apache committer status. - Themes and plugins can use other-licensed components freely, since the Roller Support project is not Apache territory. - Dave
