Hi Ben,
As the main developer of Skrooge and administrator and developer of
skrooge.org (currently on Drupal), _it is normal that I am in charge of
the migration_.
But, I don't know Hugo and I already have other websites on wordpress,
so I would appreciate if I could make skrooge.org on wordpress.
*Is it possible ?*
Regards,
Stéphane

Hi all,
For some time now it has been known to us that the upgrade path from one
given Drupal major version to the next is usually a very difficult road
with lots of breakage involved.
The conversion from Drupal 7 or 8 to Drupal 9 is no different in this
regard - basically being a content export and then reimport.
Due to the level of disruption and risk of breakage involved this isn't
something done lightly but with the end of support for Drupal 8 and the
incoming end of support for Drupal 7 we need to take action on this sooner
rather later.
At this time I'm only focusing on the smaller sites, so akademy.kde.org (in
the process of moving to Hugo) and dot.kde.org (to be figured out) are out
of scope for this email.
We currently have the following sites running on Drupal 7/8:
- dot.kde.org
- akademy.kde.org
- kdevelop.org
- skrooge.org
- behindkde.org
- blogs.kde.org
Given that promo is currently not making active use of the site, at this
time my intention is to create a static archive of behindkde.org.
In the case of KDevelop and Skrooge, it would make the most sense to
convert them both into Hugo websites to minimise the long term maintenance
cost and to make them part of the KDE family of sites.
If anyone would like to work on this please contact me and I will arrange
for a sanitized database copy to be made available to you.
In the event that doesn't happen, converting them into static sites seems
like the best path forward.
Hi Ben,
Drupal is, not to put too fine a point on it, terrible in every conceivable way
and we dread having to post to the dot. We welcome the transition away from
it.
Promo has repeatedly asked for WordPress to supersede Drupal for the Dot, as
we have found creating content for a Hugo site (something we do at least every
2 months for KDE Gear and Plasma announcements) difficult, inflexible, slow,
convoluted, and error-prone. So not much better than Drupal.
As there are already several WordPress-based websites on the KDE
infrastructure, such as hattps://labplot.kde.org andhttps://kdenlive.org, we
think that having this is not too much to ask.
Cheers
Paul
