Day 3 : Assessing the Previous Migration Tool

Today’s focus was on evaluating the existing migration tool from the Joomla Converter project .
It supports older versions of Joomla.
What I Explored:
The tool follows a modular approach.
Supports Both Database migration as well as Media migration.
It only works if both the websites are on same server, i.e migrates the databases and migrates media via File System.
It breaks on Newer version.
Provides a good idea for mapping and taxonomies.
What it Lacks
Authorization - Fails to ensure data security, i.e SU must authorize the migration.
What to fit for Hard Coded and default values. (We need to calculate the value for each category
same with tags, menus etc)
