Copy-and-paste with Ekit

Signing the Ekit applet might be the proper way to get copy-and-paste to work for most users, but the quick-and-dirty way is to drop the ekitapplet.jar into the trusted extensions directory of your JRE ( <jre>/lib/ext ).

Open source Java newsfeed aggregation engine

I propose starting an opensource project to do RSS aggregation. I think the Radio model of viewing it through a web page is nice, so I'm thinking we build it using WebWork. Storage of RSS feed subscriptions can be as easy as saving them in an XML file. Scheduling of feed updates could be done with Quartz. This could be very simple at first (all jobs are synch'd on the same schedule), then made more and more advanced (allowing individual schedules per feed, etc.) [Jason Carreira]
That sounds great, but make the aggregation engine modular so it can be used in Struts apps, WebWork apps, and in client-side aggregators favored by Rickard and others.

Please report Roller bugs via JIRA

During the editing, I've created a ghost bookmark folder. When I go into bookmarks I saw two Blog folders. Once I deleted this folder I had two News folders. When I deleted News, all was right again. Hmmm.... sounds like a bug. Another possible bug I was trying to grab the RSS/XML link to Anthony's blog. I kept getting my RSS feed. [Jeff Duska - A cup of joe]
I made big changes to bookmark management in Roller 0.9.5, so the first issue has probably been fixed.  I think Anthony is planning on upgrading once Roller 0.9.6 is out. I added a bug in JIRA for the second issue.  Please enter bugs into JIRA if you can because we might miss them if you only post them on your blogs.
