The Update and Migration Working Group is a Production Working Group.

Dealing with updates and migration should be a part of every Working Group that makes changes that break backward compatibility, but we need a group that can make sure that the software and tools are ready to migrate from 2.5 to 3.x. as seamlessly as possible.

Announcements

The Update and Migration Working Group met at J and Beyond 2012, Saturday May 19, 09:15-10:15 (GMT+1). A recap of the one hour session includes:

  • Joomla 1.5 to 2.5 migration is a critical remaining issue
  • Joomla 2.5 migration is a critical path
    • Joomla 2.5 is a long term support (LTS) release
    • Joomla 2.5 to 3.x is an update rather than migration
  • Migration needs an extensible plugin architecture for extensions


Action items include:

  • Create a Joomla branch in GITHUB utilizing Ian MacLennon's onward component
  • Review existing branch for needs and functionality
