Secretary(SGG)Serge Lasvignes
SIG DirectorVéronique Mély
Before 2009 URL was premierministre.gouv.fr and site looked… outdated
And was using SPIP as CMS
SPIP is actually something as French

Hard part : content migration.• 10.000 elements (articles, photos, …)• No structured content in SPIP• Hard-coded URLs• SPIP internal codes (like BBCodes)
Hard part 2 : no clear specifications, no final decisions, changes occur often.
Hard part 3 : HIGH PRESSURE !
Simple organisation :Every decision is written & validated
SCRUM based projectLearn to be HARD and say NO
1 person dedicated to migration
Used Tools :• SVN (Source Control)• Redmine (Project Management)• Hudson (Deployment system)• Selenium RC (Automated test)• Drupal (heh)• Over-time-hours (many)
5 months of hard work
And some magic later…
Power of taxonomies & menus…

Apache SOLR for Searches
Biggest bug : Select * from node where type = ‘ministre’;
Without… AND published = 1
But, workflow doesn’tfit contributors needs.We need to add more flexibilitylike flags, holydays support…
And the multi node system forGovernment composition is notAdapated to gov changes…
After a year without Adyaxexperts, Acquia did an audit…
… and globally no huge problemswere found.
