Dave, I am new on the BlogoScene. Roller is cool, thanks for all your work on it.
My clients want a relatively full-featured editor with fonts, tables and image uploads. BlogJet uploads images, ekit running as an applet locally should be able to do so as well. Editing is a real nightmare. There are really no good clients out there, except maybe FireFox's extension. They all have holes. If the table and image features on ekit worked, believe it or not it stands up well compared to most of the blog clients out there. I don't like applets, but that is life I guess.... I am an older developer (i.e. good with databases, perl, basic, some C, pascal, shell). Trying to learn Java, getting into Ruby on Rails. Is there something I could do to help testing/integrating of ekit? How do you debug what is happening when the magic errors are thrown?? At least it does not crash the browser like really misbehaving applets can.

I didn't realize it had an image upload feature and I don't understand how image upload could possibly work with Roller. And to the roller-dev list: personally, I think we should ditch Ekit. It doesn't work all that well and it's LGPL. - Dave
