This wiki page should reflect an up-to-date state of where drupal.org stands in its upgrade to Drupal 6. Initial data here is based on findings in http://groups.drupal.org/node/16246 and should be updated from time to time to reflect current reality.

## DONE (almost): Drupal core modules
Drupal.org uses the following Drupal core modules, which are of course available for Drupal 6: aggregator(*), block, book, comment, contact, filter, forum, menu, node, path, ping(*), profile(*), search(*), system, taxonomy, upload, user, watchdog/dblog.
### Notes:
- Ping should not be enabled(?) (Gábor Hojtsy)
- Profile might be migrated to node based profiles for a richer user profile experience as designed
- Search might be replaced by a faceted search based solution. Robert Douglass and Jacob Singh work on that. See http://dc2009.drupalcon.org/session/more-search-how-apachesolr-changes-w...
- Legacy module was removed in Drupal 6. Not sure we should support such old paths, which that module was supporting.

## TODO: Project management related functionality
- Project, project_release, project_usage, project_issue, pift_server. Still keeps growing with new features and changes for Drupal.org. Has a forked upgrade path for Drupal 6. Needs people to work on it. http://drupal.org/project/project and friends.
- Comment upload. Used to upload files to project issue followups. Almost ready for Drupal 6, but maintainer looks for new lead on the project. http://drupal.org/project/comment_upload
- CVSlog module. Needs hands to help update it. http://drupal.org/project/cvslog

## Search modules
Drupal.org uses the core search and xapian module. Xapian provides the backend data. Plans include to eliminate this and move to an apache solr based seearch which would support facets. See above in Drupal core.
## Remote login module
Drupal.org runs the drupal.module which allows groups.drupal.org (and whatever other site) users to log in with their drupal.org name and password. This is old and insecure and we should move to a different model. The association manages setting up an OpenID server on drupal.org to make our life happy and have a future-proof way to have shared login credentials. If this is not going to happen, site_network module in contrib is replicating the drupal.module functionality. http://drupal.org/project/site_network

## Misc modules
- Tracker 2 is used to have a more performant tracker. Needs helping hands: http://drupal.org/project/tracker2
- Paranoia is used to eliminate PHP input features and modification of user #1 whenever possible. Needs helping hands: http://drupal.org/project/paranoia

- http://drupal.org/node/209166 (paranoia) UPDATE: A D6 Dev version is now available. There are issues for new features available for further volunteers.
## Drupal.org custom modules
All hosted under the drupalorg module. These are mostly small one-off modules to modify pages and forms on drupal.org. It does not have any branch yet and should be branched for Drupal 5 and 6 to facilitate the upgrade. Helping hands needed. http://drupal.org/project/drupalorg
### Working on it:
- jtsnow
- danithaca will test the pivots_block sub-function. should be D6 friendly w/o changing code.
