Go check out the FarCry site, it has documentation on migration.

That's why I'm curious about how hard a migration from Spectra to FarCry would be. It would seem to me that a migration would be cheaper and make more sense than a rewrite of Spectra. Part of our decision with my employer is a political one. Others in our system have been trying to force an Interwoven agenda for several years and only grudgingly accepted Spectra because it went OS and it is CF based. It will be a tough road for me to try to get them to accept FarCry after the previous battles. If the migration is relatively easy that would help.

Well, Coming from the camp who has used and both (currently using FarCry). I strongly suggest that you look into FarCry first as really I think it covers what Spectra does and more - the problem we have with Spectra is that it nearly 2 years since anything features were added to it - as was pointed out - it was written for 4.5.x that is whopping 4 versions of CF behind CFMX 7 (I am counting updaters). Its a lot of work and it would be competing with FarCry. N -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Spectra-Talk Sent: 16/03/2005 19:27 Subject: Re: Continuing on Spectra? You're right about it being a ton of work. That begs a question. If FarCry has pretty much everything functionally that Spectra did and is somewhat structurally similar would it be a better idea to write some good migration utilities and migrate to FarCry. Or is it smarter to rewrite Spectra (I like Tardis)? Removing the Verity dependency means adding tables and migrating data to them. This would have to be done for any legacy sites. What do you guys think? "Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 03/16/2005 11:22 AM Please respond to spectra-talk To: Spectra-Talk <[email protected]> cc: Subject: Re: Continuing on Spectra? Well as a former member of TMM Spectra I would be up for it. Though I would suggest a name change from Spectra as that name will do it no favours. How about Tardis one of it's Beta names! It will have to have a lot of work done on it to be user ready, for one I would remove the need for Verity. Let me know off list or wherever if you want input.
