given that jspwiki has a blog function, would there ever be a reason to deploy both roller and jspwiki? beyond the fact that roller is, i would say, <insert subjective phrasing here> with it's handling of weblogs vs. jspwiki, is there a technical reason?
It's my impression that JSPWiki's blog features are somewhat limited. Does it support group blogging with admin, author and limited roles? Can bloggers control their own templates at runtime? Does it scale to thousands of blogs? I think the answer to those questions is no.
So my answer is yes, if you want both a full multi-user blog system and a wiki, then yes it would make sense to deploy both Roller and JSPWiki. Roller can be integrated with an external JSPWiki: you can use JSPWiki syntax to compose your Roller blog entries and any wiki- words that you use will point into your wiki.
Janne: do you have an opinion on this topic? You run your personal blog on JSPWiki. Am I underestimating the blog features of JSPWiki?
