| | 3 | As his master's thesis, Andrew Buttigieg did a great job in enhancing the rdfhomepage to make it more user friendly (for the homepage's author). The idea was to cut the monolithic PHP monster into a more modular shape and adding user interfaces ("rdfhomepage toolbox") to make editing and simple adaptions of the look and feel easy. |

| | 10 | Andrew spend a lot of time on adding new features but had to change many old sources by rewritting better ones from scratch. |
| | 11 | The result was a real branch from the old rdfhomepage - to be found in trunk/rdfhomepage2. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | Problems: |
| | 14 | * rdfhomepage2 works fine, however, the old rdfhomepage user's are still using the old rdfhomepage sources. |
| | 15 | * There is no easy migration for bringing "old rdfhomepage" to the new "rdfhomepage2". |
| | 16 | * The Installation of rdfhomepage2 works much better than the installation of the old rdfhomepage, however, there are still errors and warnings coming up after/during the "installation" of rdfhomepage2. |

| | 22 | Now, Michael Kraus invests 4 weeks of his time to solve the above mentioned problems. |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | To do: |
| | 25 | 1. First migration of ''old'' rdfh to new rdfh2 |
| | 26 | * Try to migrate Sven's homepage (old rdfh) to the new rdfh2 |
| | 27 | * Eliminate upcoming errors in warning while migrating |
| | 28 | * Maybe write some "install script" or something alike |
| | 29 | 2. Set up a completely ''new'' rdfh2 (no data at the beginning) |
| | 30 | * Download rdfh2 sources to some place |
| | 31 | * Start "install script" (if available) |
| | 32 | * Incrementally(!) add new data until the homepage is more or less "complete" |
| | 33 | * Eliminate upcoming errors in warning while migrating |
| | 34 | * Maybe adapt the "install script" |
| | 35 | * Set up other rdfh2 instances... until this process works without any erros |
