With a newer version of phpbb3 and wordpress released, the time has arrived to start evaluating what it takes to perform an upgrade.

Here is a todo list which I will try to keep up to date (since some of you visitors actually care about the upgrade to the phpbb forums)

  1. Backup and remove all remnants of the MCA forums/dkp/calendar from the website. … Completed 09JAN2008
  2. Backup and drop all MySQL tables related to the MCA forums/dkp/calendar.  Completed 07JAN2008.
  3. Review upgrade instructions for phpbb3 … partially completed
  4. Review upgrade instructions for wordpress 2.3 … in progress
  5. Review wordpress/phpbb3 integration and determine replacement integration method … currently looking at http://www.wp-united.com/ as a replacement to the previous phpbb integration.
  6. Review post levels plugin for wordpress 2.1 and determine how to replicate security with wordpress 2.3 … this is the devil item that is holding everything up
  7. perform upgrade on phpbb
  8. perform upgrade on wordpress
  9. integrate phpbb-wordpress
  10. re-apply post-levels plugin to wordpress to secure private posts, or delete private posts

Next, I’m looking at continuing some of my previous coding endeavors…  more on that later.
