Hi Everyone,

I maintain a Drupal Commons 2.x site for a nonprofit organization with about 700 members. I very badly need to get the whole thing migrated to Commons 3.x properly, including preserving all organic groups configuration and content group association.

I am seeking help with migrating the database only. I don't need any assistance with theme, etc.

I am specifically looking for someone who has done this migration before. I've spent at least 15 hours so far experimenting with the instructions presented here: https://www.drupal.org/project/commons_migration and still wind up with errors when running the migration. It seems that there is some secret recipe of dev releases that need to be in place for this to work perfectly.

This project has budget and I am interested in discussing it with anyone willing to tackle it. I feel like a lot of this work is actually done, I just need the right person to help wrap up the missing 2%.

Please feel free to email me directly. I've never posted to the 'paid services' forum before so please excuse any noobness.

You should be looking for anyone who has experience in doing Drupal version upgrades. The skillset is transferable.

Best of luck with it!

Isn't that always the way with Drupal sites - the Pareto principle that the bulk of the work is done fairly quickly, then the small finishing touches are where one gets stuck, or ends up spending 80% of the time. Very frustrating! It is true that the right person will do everything much faster, though even for experienced people, it is that 'snagging' and finishing touches which ends up taking the bulk of the time.
