anybody familiar with Roller?

Hi,

I have started trying to install Roller <http://roller.apache.org/>.  Does 
anyone on this list have much experience with it?  Have any reports, good or bad?

My effort to get Roller running is giving me a good education, as I probably 
should have expected.  Here is the top of today's lesson:
   Jan 3, 2013 4:46:03 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployWAR
   INFO: Deploying web application archive r.war
   Roller Weblogger: No custom properties file found in classpath
Even though I've got my [CATALINA_HOME]/common/lib/roller-custom.properties

If I recall correctly, the first Roller author named David Johnson works (or 
worked) for SAS.  So I might expect that David Johnson or some of the other 
committers might be familiar in TriJUG.  But I do not recognize any names I 
know, in the list of committers.

Here are some of my parameters:

Roller version: roller-weblogger-5.0.1-tomcat
Server version: Apache Tomcat/5.5.23
Server built:   Apr 11 2012 01:37:24
Server number:  5.5.23.0
OS Name:        Linux
OS Version:     2.6.32.28-xenU
JVM Version:    1.6.0-b09
DB: PostgreSQL 8.4.2
mailserver: none


Thank you,
