hi ... We are not going to migrate unopened projects, communities, and user groups -- the things that have been in a hidden state on the site. Some have been in that state for 1-3 years now. So, I am communicating with those 40 or so groups now, and I am opening the ones that want to be opened and deleting the ones that the leaders say should be deleted (they went another direction, the project was canceled, they will open later, etc ... many reasons). I have been doing that for two days now, and will continue till I have worked my way through the list. With respect to the current content on the site: the tonic team is assessing the common content and where it lives as well as the feature list between the current site and the future site so we can properly map things as we move. We are moving to a new site and things will be different, so there will be some adjustments. We are not looking at the content in project/community/osug spaces, though. That`s up to the community leaders to look at since everyone owns their own content in their own groups. Anyway, as part of that process, I suggested that this would be a good time for everyone to look around their spaces to do a little house cleaning before we move to the new site. There is no sense in moving stuff that is going to get deleted or people don`t want anymore, etc. It`s natural for humans to accumulate unneeded stuff over time, that`s all. Now, if people look around and say they are all set, then fine. We go with what we have. And that will be the case with the vast majority of groups. However, I am sure that as community leaders poke around they will find dead groups or unused infrastructure with no owners and that stuff should be looked at. That`s pretty much it, really.
