It's a bit unfortunate because we've gotten a bit behind with the 1.3 release and now we are in a situation where we pratically have 2 versions ready for release (1.3 & 2.0).


I don't think that's a big issue. Roller 1.3 is for folks who just want a couple of bug fixes and not a big new release.


I still think there are some issues with 2.0 that need resolving over the next couple weeks, but I think we should probably try and cut off the 2.0 feature development where things stand now and focus on finishing up the release by finishing up any unresolved issues and fixing bugs. I would also be comfortable with actually finalizing the 2.0 release in the next week or two and tagging it, but not releasing it publicly for another week or two after that.


Yes. I think that once we fix the PostgreSQL problem we should tag and release.

I think its close, but it needs a bit more chill time and QA. There's a lot of new stuff that only Dave and Allen have really had an opportunity to check out.



I suppose it would be good to have a simple discussion about what our roadmap is. Stuff that I have on my list are ...

Roller 2.x
- custom authentication w/SSO support (acegi)
- presentation caching upgrades (likely with memcached support)
- standardize weblog templates (Weblog, _day, _css, _decorator)
- more spam prevention measures (comments & trackbacks)
- more flexible url structure
- auditing
- instrumentation
- theme improvements (rewrite?)

Roller 3.x
- tagging support
- more complete dashboard


That's a good summary and I think it would be great if we could agree on a Roller roadmap for the upcoming months. A roadmap should make it easier for us to coordinate our development.

I'm going to work on a proposal for spam prevention measure this week. I've setup release 2.1 in JIRA, so we can track improvements there (and point to proposals on the wiki).
