Dear HOT: I think this is my first post to this list, so I should introduce myself: I'm Felix from Germany living in Nicaragua for some years now. I came to HOT as I was invited to speak at SOTM-US in San Francisco about our Managua (Nicaragua's capital) mapping effort on transit mapping [1]. I attended the BoF on HOT during the conference and Mikel asked me to help out with the HOT website, as I'm a Drupal developer for work. You are invited to check my website [2] or drupal.org profile [3] for more information about my person.
Lately, I have been working together with Clara on the migration of the Drupal 7 port and would like to get things pushed forward. But please let me explain my motivation for that: IMHO the website is as good as it the actual live site, or even a bit better, although there are some open issues. We have not getting reported mayor concerns so far for the Drupal 7 port. But we have a somehow a little annoying situation: We already migrated content and everything from the old site to the new Drupal 7 version. So any new content and comments have to be added manually now to the new website (or we would need an automatic workflow which would be quite a lot of work). Therefore I spent several hours on migrating newer content and comments form the old site, added after the migration work started and I would rather prefer to spend work into improving the website and fixing bugs, than manual content migration. So I would like to ask you to check the new website [4], report problems to our issue queue [5] And give Draz(en and the website team (Clara and myself) a thumbs up, so we can migrate anytime soon, please. Thank you and have an excellent week.
