Levels of Roller Customization

Junkfood has a nice summary of the different levels of Roller customization and the documentation you need to do customization. He writes "Roller is poorly documented" and he's right. I haven't updated the user guide since 0.9.8 and the macro reference, which is auto-generated from tags in the Velocity code just doesn't cut it. I'm working on user and install docs now. Next up are the customization docs.

Here are Junkfood's levels of Roller customization:

1. Edit CSS stylesheets to customize styles.
2. Edit page templates to add/delete/move page elements and Roller macros.
3. Select different theme packages to get different base page templates and CSS stylesheets.
4. Create and use new macros.
5. Override existing Roller macros.
6. Change Roller configuration and installation.
7. Change Apache configuration.
8. Edit Roller source code.
