D7: Term field upgrade and migration strategy

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

With some kind of CCK Field UI going into core and taxonomy term field going in hopefully soon, we can really resolve the problems related to upgrade path. Please volunteer if you can! Here are the principles I'm drawing out of the discussion so far:

Data migration

  • For each vocabulary, create a field.
  • For each row in taxonomy_vocabulary_node_type create a field instance for that vocabulary's field on that node type's bundle.
  • For each row in taxonomy_term_node, save a row in appropriate field instance's table.

FYI, The issues related to this project are:
