Speed of Migration
Something to consider is what you want out of migration in Part 3. At that time
you will receive your final Site Builder data extract. You will put a freeze on your
Site Builder site just before this happens but any changes to your Site Builder
site after this time will not be reflected automatically in your SiteWorks site and
you will need to maintain both websites until such time as you are ready to go
live on your server.
If your Site Builder site is not very dynamic or relatively small then time might not
figure highly in your thoughts and you could be content to spend days or even
weeks on your server site before going live. If you want a fast migration then
advanced preparation in terms of planning and preparing text/media as needed
will be key critical for you. This is something only you can decide and implement.
Next Steps
In Part 2 you have had the opportunity to review your migrated site content, plan
the content and visuals of your new SiteWorks site, thought about how you will
achieve this, practiced using u3a SiteWorks on some of your pages, decided
whether to continue with migration or opt for a Starter site, and you have
checked or modified your Site Builder site for final migration. You should also
have some ideas as to how to create a page and contact form for your
committee.
A nominal two weeks has been allocated to this part of the process but there are
very many reasons why this time could be longer or shorter. Within reason you
can take as long as you need in each part of this process. There is no pressure
although if you have not been in contact in a few weeks it is highly likely that a
team member will contact you to ensure you are safe and well and that you are
still proceeding at your own pace.
When you are ready then please get back to the Migration Team using
migration@siteworks.u3a.org.uk and tell them that you are ready to move on to
Part 3. Your u3a status on Open Project will be changed to alert the Migration
team that you need assistance.
Migrator Contact
Your Migrator will make contact with you. As before this could be within hours or
it could be a much longer period of time. Again, it depends on the workload of
the Migrator at that particular time.
