Blogging Roller

Once I do some work with the mountain of digital photos I have taken recently, I'll have a little time to work on Roller tonight. But, before that here are some quickies:

Lance has added support to Roller for <a href= "http://www.devarticles.com/content.php?articleId=90&page=1"> Mitchell Harper's JavaScript-based WYSIWYG editor. It works only on IE,but it is still cool. Now Roller supports three editors: Ekit, the Harper special, and the plain old text box.

I think I read that <a href= "http://www.raibledesigns.com/page/rd">Matt added sort-by column to the Roller user table that appears on the new Roller 0.9.6 front page, but I can't find that email right now. That will make it easier to browse the blogs at FreeRoller.

There are a lot of cool blogs at FreeRoller that I have not noticed before. For example, <a href= "http://www.freeroller.net/page/cbeust">Cedric Beust's weblog and Ara Abrahamian's <a href= "http://roller.anthonyeden.com/page/ara_e">MemoryDump. Ara has some interesting ideas about an <a href= "http://roller.anthonyeden.com/page/ara_e/20021014">n-way metadata bus for Java persistence scenario. Cool idea.  He says MiddleGen may support this some day. Wow, I need to take another look at MiddleGen.
