Tasks done

  • Help Jared fix a botched git commit.
  • Provide Adam with information on managing planet.l.o. Keep in mind at present time we still only have one person manning the planetmaster@l.o address that I know of.
    • Help siteowners clean up their content for syndication.
  • Miscl GSG fixes


Notes

  • Drupal is a maze of twisty passages, all subtly different
  • Fixing <http://one.laptop.org/news> took over an hour and a contact with Upstatement. The text was controlled via a "hacky title substitution". How many other things like this might we find that we want to change in the future?
  • I remember seeing a Wordpress→Drupal module looks like it has some support for path rewriting.
  WordPress redirects, attachments and custom fields are not imported, patches welcome.

from [1].

Currently working on

  • 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]

Future tasks

  • 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.
  • Color coded key for newswall.
  • Duplicate database for www-staging if it turns out to be needed, double check this.
  • Follow up on mailman migration with Ed et al.
