Some fixes and customization to dadamigrate. This module is
undocummented and I dive into the code to fix some bugs. I started
commiting patches to the issue queue but as I got no response from
developers, I stopped it.

http://drupal.org/project/issues/imc_alba

Fixes / changes I remember:

* to use comment module instead of nodecomment (almost all the work was
done in the module but it is a 'hidden' feature).

* to correct parent comments to nodes.

* to correct features linking to proper articles.

* to use a cck field for "related urls" (a dadaIMC feature) instead of
inserting that info in the article body (as the migrator does).

* pending: code to support hidden module(based on nodes and comments)
instead of imc_editor (based on nodes --and commentnodes). First I have
to finish first to upgrade of hidden to d6.

editor and admin roles. I wish to use adminrole module but there's no a
d6 version yet.

mmmmm.....

IMAGES: Still in the air. I plan a solution based on upload /
comment_upload / upload_preview / inline, that I think is pretty similar
to dadaIMC. No imce or image_assist.
Perhaps we switch to use images as nodes, to use a gallery (acidfree) or
perhaps images as nodes and uploads will coexist...

OTHER MEDIA: upload module and look for modules to easily handle audio,
video, etc based on flash players...

VIEWS: we have at present 3 views as blocks/pages: local newswire /
gflobal newswire / events newswire (we call rhizome to the newswire).

Not exported. They are so easy ...

already answered.

It is important to note that we dont use a exclusive nodetype for events
(event module nor custom cck).
We just added a multivalued date field to story content type. The user
posting has to fill the date if this story is an event, left it blank if
not an event. The events newswire will show the next events based on
stories with date filled.

> 
> Do you have any other comments or suggestions?

yes, even more :)

I tried time ago to "relaunch" the process of trying to unificate some
criteria, and I think I did some work that can be recycled. You can look
for messages in the list archive with subject "relaunch ourselves:
all/modules".

I also tried to do a comprehensive list of modules based on previous work.
https://docs.indymedia.org/view/Devel/ImcDrupalDevModules

But I stopped doing it (no feedback, no interest..) and started to
migrate my own imc, as a lot of people where doing on his own.
