[OGDev] Upgrading Birmingham OpenGuides

[Barbie]

Hi folks,

After several months of struggling with a painful server, Birmingham
Perl Mongers have now bought hosting for our various projects. I've
started setting up the box, and now would seem to be a good time to
upgrade OpenGuides too.

However, the current installation is running 0.49 and as I'd like to use
the latest OG code, 0.60. Is there a conversion script to migrate the
database between the two? It's currently running under postgresql, and
can remain so, or move to MySQL if anyone has a conversion script for
that.

Following up Kake's post about a SpamDetection module. This closely
follows how things work on the current Birmingham site, with the hacked
version of the code I made. However, rather than one SpamDetection
module, I'd like to see the ability to have several, so that it allows
people to plug'n'play with a variety of detection modules. Much in the
same way that most email spam engines work.

In addition the Birmingham OpenGuides has a rollback feature, which
allows an admin to rollback to a specific version, rather than deleting
nodes one by one. I haven't seen this as a feature, is it something that
would be useful? I don't have the time to patch anything right now, but
I could look at this during July.

And finally, how painful is the template and CSS migration likely to be?
There looks to be a lot of new templates in the latest release!

Cheers,
Barbie.
