Combine Planet Laptop and Planet Sugar into one feed using Yahoo Pipes. (pipe published here)
Footer link to Dashboard in Drupal
Copy over database + files to www-staging.l.o from one.l.o

Drupal is currently a point release behind (6.19 vs 6.20), are we handling upgrades or is GT?
- Some other plugins, notably Google Analytics, are currently marked "not supported", and several others have updates available
Attempts to migrate one database to www-staging resulted in a variety of odd failures:
- Not all tables were migrated when restoring from webif via backup created from webif on one, but restoring www-staging was without problems.
- Attempts to use mysqlimport resulted in Access Denied errors (for the specific tables, not in general)
Eventually solved via command mysql -u drupal -p drupal < drupal-one.sql.
Attempts to replicate the database on my local system resulted in a system that was similar to, but not identical, to the main Drupal site. Namely, I couldn't get the admin webif working.

Investigate the means by which we could import feeds a la planet.
- We'll want to have a subset of Planet syndicated, subject to manual approval [medium, 3hr]

Determine a migration path for URLs on the old blog.laptop.org instance to Drupal
- Current URL schemes are incompatible.

Figure out if we want to keep Wordpress for blog.l.o, and somehow integrate it with Drupal. This eliminates the above URL issue, but add new ones, namely:
- Unify visual style. b.l.o looks decidedly un-one.l.o-like.
- Single-user-login between Drupal and Wordpress.

Duplicate database for www-staging if it turns out to be needed, double check this.

Follow up on mailman migration with Ed et al. (talk with SJ/Adam re formulating specific rationale for upgrade)
