Migration

The philosophical bit

The theoretical bit

The bit where we actually get stuff done

The bit where you ask questions and it turns out my explanation was way too hard.


1. About Migration

What?

Why?

Why not?


What is migration?

Migration upgrade


Why migrate?

Better UI

Better documentation

Better code, more stable

Support for J!1.0 will end one day

3PD's will follow


1.0 vs 1.5 extensions (2008-01-21)

May 2008: 24%


Why not?

Can take a lot of work

Risk of errors

Hard to test

Got 3PD extensions?

Port your own extensions?

==> Do you really need it?


The theoretical bit
