I'm running a Drupal 6 site and would like to use the Comment OG module (http://drupal.org/project/comment_og). It's currently only released for Drupal 5 and its creator has let me know that he doesn't have time to port it himself. Can anyone give me advice on where to start with porting this? Thanks.

Developer Module that assists with code review and version upgrade. The module supports a plug-in extensible hook system so contributed modules can define additional review standards.

The purpose of this module is to automate as much as possible the task of updating a contributed module for Drupal API changes, and thereby simplify the task of porting contributed modules shortly after a new Drupal release.

The 6.x version of this module helps update the 5.x version of a contributed module to the version 6.x API. Currently, 70 of the 80 topics (which often include multiple items) mentioned in the converting 5.x modules to 6.x roadmap have been addressed. This includes 15 of the 17 Form API topics mentioned in the 5.x to 6.x FormAPI changes roadmap. The module probably handles the bulk of changes in many modules, including the Schema API, Menu API and Form API.
