Converting to Drupal

I've been an user/developer of drupal since 4.6 and I am just curious about the status of migrating drupal.org to D6, has this be done?

My threshold to start doing that is waiting for Views and CCK be in a stable release for D6, and I bet drupal.org has a lot more dependencies in order to make the decision of moving, but I was just wondering about it and thought it might be an interesting topic to gather some feedback from the actual drupal.org maintainers.

Thanks and great for everything.

Hello,
I have a current site design at www.china-roots.com/index2.php, it is what i want to achieve with Drupal, can you tell me if i can do this with a reasonable amount of work? I mean CSS. Thanks (I haven't installed Drupal yet)

A few months ago my team and I were very frustrated with our website company that we had outsourced.

If you get a chance check out the http://www.LakeTrash.com drupal website technology it rocks and we keep improving.

Best Always,

Hello,

I writen this module to convert Joomla! 1.0 to Drupal 6. It does the following:
- Only support clean Drupal 6 installtion
- Keep all Joomla! contents, users. Keep content item id unchanged (for SEO for example)
- Remove comments marked as spam (support only Jom Comment)
- New vocabulary for section/category
- Support mosimage
- Support some other features that I'm using..

It isn't widely tested. Just test with Joomla! 1.0.12, 1.0.15, Drupal 6.0, 6.2 on my localhost and another host, 4000 articles + 1000 users + 3500 comments without any problem. Only tested with utf-8 encoding. Only tested with PHP 5, 32 MB memory.

It was supposed to support SOBI2, mosetTrees... but finally I think it doesn't worth coding. So I release it now. joomla2drupal is derived from http://joomla2drupal.teodorani.com/ (which doesn't support D6) which is based on http://www.borber.com/en/projects/wp2drupal (support D4.7 only).

[April 1st 2009] Ah luckily now I can edit this page. So I update the link. You don't have access to my SVN (sorry) but there is daily export archive of the module: http://svn.jcisio.net/d/joomla2drupal.tar.gz
[Feb 2010] Another module to convert Joomla! 1.x to Drupal 6 (but I haven't tried it) http://drupal.org/project/joomla

Hi everyone,
I'm not a very active member here yet, as I'm still learning and reading through the excellent community documentation. I must say its a very welcome change from previous CMS systems I've used.

Anyway I currently want to convert from running 3 separate Open Source Systems and bring it all together with Drupal and possibly Gallery 2.

I currently run:

Joomla (For front end content management and articles).
Coppermine for user images and albums
SMF for forum discussions

SMF and Coppermine are bridged and I believe user tables in SMF are used by Coppermine.

Joomla just hosts content, but there are only really about 12 articles in there, so I could (if neccessary) manually port them over to Drupal as (stories?) possibly.

I'm looking to port everything into Drupal 6 since that's the latest build and looks to have the best theme engine so far.

Since Drupal and Gallery 2 are fairly well connected, I'd be looking at replacing Coppermine with it and bridging Drupal and Gallery 2. However I have read a lullabot article on turning Drupal 4.x into a Flickr style site and honestly that would be all that my users need.

I am trying to convert a site to Drupal. It is a community site for a high school choral department. My son is a senior, so I want to convert the site to something that I could turn over to another parent. And where they could easily create content, and post upcoming events to the front page. Drupal seems to fit that bill.

but.. is there a "recipe/tutorial" for converting an existing html site to Drupal? I've looked.. and it is probably in front of my face.. but I can't seem to find it. If someone could just post me a link to it, I can read it on my own.
