Subject: Re: how do i make the server "description" field a textarea in
server administration?

ahh, good point, that should be textfield.  i can commit that to the 
current trunk if that's what you are working from, but if you already 
have an installation or are working from a specific release you can do 
this ...

open the file under WEB-INF/classes/rollerRuntimeConfigDefs.xml and look

for the "property-def" element which has the name "site.description". 
inside that element you will see that the value specified for <type> is 
"string" and you should just need to change that to "text".  you can 
also add new elements for <rows> and <cols> so at the end it would look 
like this ...

       <property-def  name="site.description" 
key="configForm.siteDescription">
          <type>text</type>
          <default-value>A default install of the Roller Weblogger open 
source blog server</default-value>
          <rows>7</rows>
          <cols>40</cols>
       </property-def>

that should do the trick.
