Moving from WCMS 2 to WCMS 3
The Waterloo Content Management System (WCMS) is moving from WCMS 2, built using Drupal 7, to WCMS 3, built using Drupal 8 before moving to Drupal 9. This move, necessitated by the fact that Drupal 7 will be reaching end-of-life, is not a straightforward one.
Drupal 8 has been completely rewritten, a change that will require WCMS 3 to be built, versus merely upgraded to. Work can then be more easily moved to the latest version of Drupal, Drupal 9.
The main objective of this project is to build a version of the WCMS that, as much as possible, replicates all existing presentation and end-user functionality of WCMS 2, using Drupal 9 at the core (excludes UWaterloo Scholar websites.)
