It's amazing that any software project reaches 12 years, especially one which is still under constant improvement and development, without feature or code bloat. (Well, some may disagree with that last part -- I don't.)

Any chance you would have time to write a blog entry about the conversion experience after the fact? (This goes out to Joshua Kwan, as well.) We are considering a similar migration effort, and lots of advice can be found in this area, but I for one would appreciate your own perspective on the experience.
