Hi Roy,
No I didn’t miss the message, I have viewed the artifacts, they look good FWICT.
Where my confusion lies is what are the next steps? It appears you are
offering to do the conversion for us which is a very kind offer.
But, what happens after that conversion? How do we make changes, what is the
workflow, …?
Perhaps it’s not confusion as much as concerns:
1. That we won’t be able to maintain, or have significant difficulty
maintaining, thus making it difficult to do a release.
2. The process to make changes to one subproject impacts another subproject in
unforeseen ways.
Perhaps my concerns are unwarranted, but at this point there seems to be more
of a risk than reward.
OTOH I clearly understand the imperative to get off of an obsolete CMS. So
it’s not a question of if but when.
