How we are doing this

Doing this migration is a part-time gig for both Dee and myself. Even though we are both in the New York City area, it's hard to work together at the same time, even remotely.

So we thought we'd try a different kind of collaborative approach, especially because the purpose of this project is not only the end result, but also very much as an exercise for learning Drupal 8.

What we're going to do is set up tasks that both of us will tackle independently. Then from time to time we will get together to compare notes and decide on which result to use in order to continue. I expect that often it will be some kind of amalgamation.

This blog will document the technical stuff that each of us learns. It may also log how this kind of collaboration turns out for us, which is another reason why I'm interested in doing it.

In the beginning... Earl (Drupal user: tz_earl) and I (Drupal user: DeeZone) started the process of moving the PlayPoi.com site from Drupal 6 to Drupal 8. This blog is a running account of the trial and tribulations of our journey.

Our first task is to get the latest release of Drupal 8 running in our local development environments. Expect posts from both of us detailing any challenges we encountered in the process.
