Hello,
I have a production website that runs on Drupal 4.7. Should I move it to Drupal 5.2?
I'm concerned that migrating might be difficult, might be work, or might cause downtime for my users. On the other hand, I'm concerned about staying with an old software version that might become unsupported in the future, and that migration might be more difficult later.
My Drupal 4.7 site has several modules added on and I figure that these might not all work in Drupal 5. My understanding is that backwards compatibility is not a development goal for Drupal. So perhaps the best way to "migrate" is to essentially re-do the website from scratch and then copy all the content from the 4.7 site.
I'm generally happy with Drupal 4.7. Is there any page that briefly explains what's new and exciting in Drupal 5 that might make one want to move to it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, Daniel.
