   So, the good news is that I managed to get our test install up and running quite quickly. But now the hard work comes. :)

   I'm wondering if there are any moves afoot to develop migration tools, specifically to move data from the pre-Omeka version(s) to RC2. At a glance, I see that the database schema has changed some.

   Also, has anyone done performance testing? Most page loads seems a good bit slower than the previous version, but I've not studied this too closely yet.

   But congrats on getting the limited beta out the door. We're very excited about what we might be able to do with the new version...

   Hi Brent,

   Yes, right now the application is very slow, but we're currently working on tweaking performance to get it back to loading pages as quickly as before. We're also exploring various methods of caching pages, which could reduce the server load tremendously on high-traffic sites.

   Also, right now we don't have any plans to build data migration tools, but the issue has come up in discussion, so it's possible that we may in the future.

   Hope that helps,

   Kris

   So everyone knows, we are currently developing a migration tool. Our first goal is to build something that works for our specific needs as we transition to Omeka. If we have time and resources, we may be able to make it a bit more flexible and general. Either way, we'll share the code. No timeline on this, but I do have a part-time developer working on it now.
