The most desired feature? That would be comments :-D

Way to go! Thanks Lance. I hope freeroller will get comments soon.

Amen, brother. Lance, you rock. Hope to see this soon in freeroller, or maybe once I get my box finished, I'll set up my own roller instance.

Wow, just posted a comment... very slick and VERY snappy response.

Hmmm... finally comments so I can fight back!

Actually, since Moveable Type has officially kicked the bucket in terms of being able to be installed on our new server for reasons unknown to man, I'd have to say easy import of Blogger files. Jason wants to install Roller on the server, but I cringe at trying to cut and paste all the blog items and comments. Wah!

There is an import utility, don't know if it'll play nice with MT, though. You or Grendel could work on that (nudge, nudge).

Nono... you misunderstand, grasshopper. Import from BLOGGER. Moveable Type nono work. PERL hackers cannot answer questions. :) And yes, grasshoppper, Grendel could work on that. I will go crack whip now.

Sorry, I got confused. For Grendel's reference, there is an importRadioWeblogEntries method in org.roller.business.castor.Import that he could use as a starting pont for importBloggerEntries.



It'd be really cool to allow people to switch from Blogger to Roller.
