Helllo, after reviewing early feedback from the Adminstration survey we saw that upgrading Drupal was a common issue. CivicSpace has been distributing an UPGRADE.txt file which points to http://civicspacelabs.org/home/upgrade. Dries has committed an UPGRADE.txt file to the Drupal distribution.

The CS upgrade instructions were created after conducting a series of interviews with CivicSpace administrators. We made a list of all the tasks involved in upgrading and prioritized it. There was a strong insistence that upgrading should be a 2 step process. There was also an insistence that the default upgrade instructions should be for people using GUI clients and web hosting accounts. The reason being that people who have shell access are more technically skilled and capable. We have parallel instructions for those with GUI client access and those with command line access.

I am proposing that we move the CivicSpace Upgrade instructions to the Drupal Handbook and rebrand it to Drupal. From a technical standpoint the Drupal and CivicSpace(Drupal + contribs) are identicle.

To improve the instructions we need more screen shots of FTP Clients and Web Hosting interfaces.

Any volunteers want to work on this?
