definite +1
I have been in a lot of meetings so far this week so I haven't had much
time, but I plan to spend some time this afternoon doing the plugins
move that i suggested and finishing up the few remaining items on my 3.0
TODO list.

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.
