Mildly historic moment

I don't want to brag of course, but it appears that Roller has the most complete Atom Protocol 04 implementation around. As Tim Bray notes, my server was the only one on the air for yesterday's Atom interopathon. We tested post, put and delete of entries and my implementation was a little brittle in places, but it held up. Roller's Atom implementation is in the sandbox and won't be included in Roller 2.0 because the protocol is not yet done. I'm hoping for Protocol 05 real soon now.

Why do I care so much about Atom Protocol? Simple. I can't finish my book without it.

Here's the mildly historic moment that Tim mentioned:

re: Subversion at Java.net?

Since I posted yesterday, I've learned that Subversion is in the works for Java.net. If your new project can't wait for that, you can try Javalobby's new JavaForge service.
