As you may already know, I'm doing a webinar on Roller for Covalent next week. The webinar is titled "Introduction to Apache Roller" and is pretty much designed to match the title. You can read more about it (and register!) at: http://tinyurl.com/24eguw.I hope to blog about this to the community, but as part of doing it, I'd like to post an outline. However, before I do that, I'd like to get your feedback on the following outline: 11:00: Introductions 11:05: What is Apache Roller (includes introduction to blogs and feeds) 11:20: Installing Roller 11:15: Roller Architecture - 11:20: Blog Customization - 11:30: Server Customization 11:40: Other Features: Using Weblog Clients and Planet 11:50: Q & A Thoughts?
Looks like a good outline. I don't have any comment, except that I hope to be listening in.
I also hope to write an open letter to JRoller in the near future to see what we can do about improving that service. Anyone at Sun or IBM willing to donate hardware/hosting to get it off their servers (if they're not interested in hosting it anymore)? I think JRoller is making Roller look bad and I'd like to do something about it.
Do a private letter first, if you have not already done so. Just a couple weeks ago I told Matt S. that the query and caching improvements from 2.1 to 3.1 should help JRoller.com performance/load and he's willing to move from Resin to Tomcat to make things easier. But, he's swamped with all those *Zone sites and doesn't have the time. It's possible that a little volunteer would could set them straight. - Dave
