DRAFT

Since our last report in February the Roller project has been making slow progress on two fronts: Roller 4.0 and Roller 4.1, mostly in the form of testing and bug fixes. Community is healthy, though we have seen some slow-down in mailing list activity. Here are the details.

...

We shipped 3.1 on April 23, 2007. A number of significant problems (including an XSS bug) were found and fixed. We are now testing a fix release known as 3.1.1 RC6, made available October 4, 2007 (announcement here: http://tinyurl.com/ynmrtj).

...

Since our last board report, Roller's JIRA data was moved to ASF infrastructure. Except for the project blog, which is still hosted at http://rollerweblogger.org/projectImage Removed, Apache Roller is now hosted by Apache.

Community health

Community health is good, but activity has slowed a little since Fall of 2007. Developers and users are active on the mailing lists, reporting bugs, submitting patches and seeking support. An all-new talk on Advanced Apache Roller was given ApacheCon EU 2008 and was submitted for ApacheCon US 2008.

Other matters

Review of encryption technologies is underway. At this point it appears that our only usage of encryption is for password authentication, provided by Spring Acegi and Commons Codec.
