When I migrate the _old_ content it won't be directly visible on the site. It will exist only when you type in the full URL. This is due to:

* I must preserve the old URLs, as existing links from all over the web point to them.
* URLs for _new_ content have a different structure based on new categories. If I were to put the old articles in the new categories, making them visible on the site, their URLs would change.

I think we're going to have to add new content to Drupal dev.zeitnews.org at the same time that we're adding new content to Joomla zeitnews.org, in order to initially populate the new site. Maybe we'll have to do this for about 2 weeks.

During that time Viewpoints, Events, Projects, and Resources will also have to be filled. I could take care of the latter 3 and was hoping Leo and possibly others had some stuff for Viewpoints?

Once we're satisfied with the amount of content that's showing, I'll throw the final switch to move ZN officially onto the new platform. So this issue is basically the final step in the migration process.

Please add your thoughts...
