Thunderbird/Support/KitsuneKBForSuMoMo1Q2011

Migration Steps

in rough order with very rough time frames (to be driven by a tracker bug):

test migration of userids to kitsune kb (Jan 2011) - MoMo Web Dev & IT (see UserIdMigrationNotes)
test data migration to kitsune kb (Jan 2011) - MoMo Web Dev
actual data migration - easier to do it by hand unforunately, fortunately we only have 85 articles in (I believe 6 or so languages)
do any CSS and other web design work needed for kitsune kb transition (Jan 2011) - MoMo Web Dev for minor tweaks, unknown if major design changes required
turn off tiki wiki / disable old site and then repeat above steps and go live i.e. remove .htaccess after testing (Feb 2011) - MoMo Web Dev and IT

KB articles change syntax, and by January we'll have dropped the migration code from the latest version. It takes time to run and isn't anywhere near 100%. Migrating wiki articles might go better by hand.
Users can be moved pretty directly into the new tables with INSERT...SELECT. If you just copy their current passwords (MD5) they'll be updated to a Sha256 hash next time they log in.
We'll still be using .htaccess for in-product and a few other redirects probably through the end of Q1.
During Q1 we'll be updating the theme of the non-KB parts of the site to match the new KB. We're also adding better support for mobile devices.
