Lost in migration
Interaktiv GmbH presents a flexible migration tool for Plone to facilitate the transition from Archetypes to Dexterity, showcasing its effectiveness in real-life scenarios. While the tool, interaktiv.migrator, has shown positive results in migrating content efficiently, it currently faces limitations such as not migrating references and requiring further development. The target audience for this beta tool is developers, and further documentation and testing are in progress.
