Summary of January 16th Meeting
Dave and I met at Sun in Santa Clara on Wednesday, January 16th. It was
just the two of us. Although, I was disappointed that no other Roller
developers/users/contributors were able to attend, it was nice to have
Dave to myself for almost 2 hours.
We talked about a few subjects worth summarizing for the list.
Roller 4.1 Release Features
We added two features to the 4.1 Release Proposal
<http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ROLLER/Proposal+Roller+4.1+Release>
* Turn Atom Publishing Protocol on by default, update documentation,
and test (http and https)
* Weblogs may optionally have a unique subdomain or a custom domain
Dave has some code for assigning unique URLs to each blog (not checked
in though, right Dave?)
Roller Release Schedule and Process
We also talked about the Roller Release Process. I noted that the
currently documented Release Plan
<http://rollerweblogger.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=RollerReleasePlan> (which
calls for monthly releases) is not being followed. I recommended moving
to Eclipse-like milestone releases that would be tagged (and perhaps
even branched) in Subversion, but would not go through the full testing
and release process required to make a tarball.
Since Dave has already committed the code for External Users, Tag Data
API, and OpenSearch to the trunk, I asked him to tag it in Subversion
(suggesting 4.1M1 as the tag) He seemed to think this was a good idea,
but I don't want to say that he agreed to do it :) (Dave?)
I'm waiting to test the External Users code with a system that I am
working on, and if it works reasonably well, I will be a able to justify
spending time helping with a Roller 4.1 release. I'm also looking
forward to trying out subdomain and custom domain blogs.

Thanks for the update. unique subdomain or a custom domain Feature is
definetly a very important feature and looking forward to see it in 4.1

I haven't looked at the external users code or tested it with my
application yet, either. So I may have some changes to propose and or
patches to submit as well.
There isn't a timeframe for a 4.1 release yet, but I'm hoping we can get
a 4.1M1 tag (or alpha or development release) soon. I assume the 4.1
release proposal would have to be finalized and approved before we could
get a timeframe.

I talked with dave a bit at apachecon and IIRC have some concerns
about how the permissions are implemented in the new external users
related code. I'd like to spend a bit of time looking at this and
see if I have any proposals or could submit a patch. What kind of
time frame are you thinking of for 4.1?
thanks

Cool. For starters, I suppose you could just create a JIRA bug and
attach a patch to it.

I'm looking forward to seeing that. Let me know if there is any way I
can help. (I could even *start* the new plan on the wiki, if you like.)

Right. I'll write up a proposal based on my current implementation.

Yeah, that release plan is out of date and needs to be migrated to the new wiki.
I'll take a stab at creating a new milestone-based release plan on the new wiki.

Thanks for the summary meeting Sean, It does give away to see that Roller is moving along and there is cooperation among all the developers.
