Blogging Roller

Matt is picking up my slack and making bunch of usability and UI enhancements to Roller 0.9.6-rc1. He has done the most work in this area of any of the Roller crew and he the best looking Roller based weblog around - based on his x2 theme which is now part of the Roller distribution.

There have only been four downloads of Roller 0.9.6-rc1 so far and I can understand that. Who'd want to download and install Roller only to have to do it again next week. Still, we are getting some good bug reports and finding things that should be fixed before the final 0.9.6. I don't want to release 0.9.6 until our two big customers are happy with it. I'm hoping to get some time this weekend to wrap up the User Guide, fix some RSS output issues, and wrap up the pluggable authentication stuff. Hopefully, 0.9.6 final will be the weekend after that.
