Merger with Data Import/Export group
The Data Import/Export and Migration to Drupal groups are being merged together. Data Import/Export was devoted to one project in this area while Migrate to Drupal was started for more general discussion - what we're going to do is close the group now known as Migration to Drupal and alter the charter for Data Import/Export to be more general (this is the easiest way to handle it, since Data Import/Export has the larger membership).
If you are a member of Migration to Drupal, you should join Data Import/Export to stay involved.
Thanks.

Migrating from Wordpress?
Do you plan on including turn-key solutions for migrating from specific CMSes, e.g. Wordpress? Please see a discussion I've started elsewhere about how to handle improvements I've made to a related module that currently is not already on d.o. Ultimately I'd like to merge wp2drupal into a more general app but if Migrate isn't intended to be like that then there's no point. Thanks.
Wordpress migration
I've been updating the wp2drupal module and wanted to make the changes available to the greater audience via d.o. But my changes mark at least the fourth developer who's worked on it - it was originally created by Borek Bernard, then updated by someone by the name of teodorani (who used to own teodorani.com but which is no longer working), and then partially upgraded to D6 by DenRaf.
Migrate module V2
The Migrate module is already garnering some good feedback. My immediate plan is to stablize the current code base of V1 - please discuss ideas for further extension and refactoring here.
Thanks.
Progress update - HEAD (0.2) can now handle Drupal 5-7, site cloning and migration of sites between platforms (aka: upgrades)
I pushed through with some of the changes I was making on monday, and implemented a mechanism for provision to conditionally include version specific code. What this means, is that 1 checkout of provision, will now have all the information it needs to manage any supported version of Drupal you throw at it.

Drupal 6.x. site Migration from MySQL to PostgreSQL (howto)
I'm not a MySQL fun, so some troubles with MySQL database (MyISAM data corruption and too slow InnoDB) force migration of three existing Drupal 6 sites from MySQL to PostgreSQL. Since Drupal 6.2 some PgSQL-related bugs (sample) in core modules has been fixed, so I have a try.
Drupal 6.5 and PostgreSQL 8.3 compatibility
Drupal Core Modules
I've installed clean Drupal 6.5 on top of PostgreSQL 8.3.3 (with UTF8 database encoding) and played with it a lot. There is no heavy troubles, only minor ones:
