The Update and Migration Working Group is a Production Working Group.
Dealing with updates and migration should be a part of every Working Group that makes changes that break backward compatibility, but we need a group that can make sure that the software and tools are ready to migrate from 2.5 to 3.x. as seamlessly as possible.
Inactive Working Group
This group is currently inactive. If you are interested in working on this issue, contact any PLT member.

- Joomla 1.5 to 2.5 migration is a critical remaining issue
- Joomla 2.5 migration is a critical path
- Joomla 2.5 is a long term support (LTS) release
- Joomla 2.5 to 3.x is an update rather than migration
- Migration needs an extensible plugin architecture for extensions
Action items include:
