my-zope.org on plone 2

I finally took the plunge, and migrated my-zope.org from plone1.x to plone 2rc5 Some manual tuning was needed, since I used ZopeZen skin previously.

There are a few differences that I noticed while upgrading. There's no more skins. Plone2 comes only with the default skin. And while customizing, I saw some mention of skin switching and I guess I have to dig deeper.

There's "portlet", replacing "slot", i think.

This is my first real encounter with Plone2, fwiw.

Here's how I did it:

• exported my-zope.org from plone1.x since i've run my other sites on zope2.7
• imported the zexp
• migrated to plone 2. here's the message:

the migration was smooth. As said previously, my-zope.org now uses the default plone skin, with some customization.

The good thing about migrating is that I can actually see where the changes are.

That's all there is to it. We'll see how I can customize the site. I need to dive more to get plone2.
