Just a little nit pick, but I think we can find a better way to describe
the extra downloads than "unshippables". Maybe the Roller "required
libraries" and "optional libraries" or something like that. I think
that is a little easier to understand to a first time user trying to get
the files.

I've put together a first release candidate (RC1) for Roller 2.3 and
updated the user and installation docs. Please take a look. Here's a
summary of what's available for 2.3:
*What's new*
I updated the Roller 2.3 what's new page to include the 2.2 features
and to mention that the release no longer includes the Hibernate jars,
the spell checker and the text-js editor.

*The release files*
Roller is now distributed as two files:
1) the webapp download named apache-roller-X.Y-incubating.tar.gz and
2) the source code download named apache-roller-src-X.Y.tar.gz
You can get those files for Roller 2.3 RC1 here:

*The documentation*
I updated the Roller Installation Guide to explain how to get the
missing HIbernate and other jars. The User Guide has also been updated
for 2.3. You can get both of these docs here:
http://people.apache.org/~snoopdave/roller-2.3-rc/
*The Roller Support project*
I'm going to re-purpose Roller's former Java.Net home as the "Roller
Support" project, which will be devoted to supporting Roller. It will
host new plugins, themes and add-ons that we're not ready to support in
Roller or cannot distribute in Roller due to licensing issues. It also
hosts the "unshippables" -- a couple of downloads helpful when
installing Roller.
