Drupal 9 Readiness
The goal of the Drupal 9 initiative is to release Drupal 9 on June 3, 2020, providing 18 months for Drupal 7 and 8 sites to update and keep security support. (Pictured is our current planned timeline).
What are we working on?
The initiative's main priorities are:
- Identify tasks to be done for Drupal 9's release, focusing on updating dependencies and removing deprecated APIs.
- Encourage and help contributed module maintainers to move along and keep modules updated.
- Release on June 3, 2020 or if that turns out to not be feasible, December 2020 at latest.
Who are we?
There are many contributors to this initiative; the following are the initiative's coordinators:
Gábor Hojtsy (Gábor Hojtsy) |
Jess (xjm) |
Nathaniel Catchpole (catch) |
Ryan Aslett (mixologic) |
How can I help?
Drupal 9 readiness meetings are now every week
Community members are invited to attend our meetings every other Monday at 19:00 UTC (what is that in my timezone?). This meeting is intended to provide a forum for status updates, discussion, feedback, etc. Feel free to propose agenda items ahead of time in the #d9readiness channel on Drupal Slack. The meetings are text-only, and transcripts of past meetings are available at the meeting archive.

Issues
Look for issues tagged with “Drupal 9 compatibility” to help with contributed projects.
Drupal core issues are tracked on the 9.0.x branch. We are currently focusing on getting Drupal 9 alpha1 complete.
For a complete overview of core plans, start from the master plan issue which is broken to further steps.
