Welcome to the Jackson Drupal Users Group. Come and enjoy Drupal with us in Jackson Michigan.
converting a site to Pressflow
I am preparing to migrate a site with over 19 million nodes and a 2500 term taxonomy vocabulaty from Drupal 5 to 6. While reading up, I have discovered Pressflow and want to consider it. How do I proceed with the upgrade? Can I use the same strategy that I and others have used to migrate sites from Drupal 5 to 6, copying the database, then replacing the Drupal core files with Pressflow's core files? Or will that create a hopelessly broken site to pick up pieces for?

Two separate sites combined into one search
I have two separate sites that are on D5, with both using the same database (not the same tables, but the same database), and I need to combine the search results from both site indexes into the site search on each site.
Eventually, both sites will be merged into a D6 site, but for now they have to remain separate.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to approach this?

Drupal in Jackson
Happy new year to all. Just over two years ago we started the Jackson Drupal Users Group. So far we have had a handful of meetings, but nothing very successful. I think its time to change that, so in 2009 I think we should all pull together and try to get a Great Jackson group going.
Here are my ideas to get a good group established. I'd like to hear your thoughts, ideas, and snide remarks.

Southeast Michigan Theming Seminar
Bob Christenson (aka Rob Feature) from Mustardseed Media, Inc. will be teaching this seminar on "real world" Drupal theming. He will be talking more about the practical "how to theme" and will NOT be doing in depth detail on how the Drupal theme system works (although we'll cover the basics of course).
This event will cover the same material being presented at the NYC Theming Session on January 24.
