Good morning, Derrell (guess it's morning on your side when you read this ;)

The general position as I understand it is that due to the changes of 
underlying concepts there will be no full automatic migration. The 
migrator script will be updated to work, but people will still have to 
re-code by hand. To ease this process and keep applications functioning, 
there will be a detailed process involving the 'qx.legacy' branch of the 
class tree (that's what the migrator will cover) and interface classes 
that allow to embed 0.7 widgets in 0.8 code. There are examples that 
show how to do this (e.g. 
http://demo.qooxdoo.org/devel/demobrowser/index.html#legacy~EmbedFuture_Layout.html).
 
And no, this hasn't been written down yet :-( .

As for further available documentation, there is sort of a check list on 
the wiki for UI migration:

HTH,
Thomas
