well, it looks like a fairly non-trivial thing to upgrade Plone/Zope, not something i'd want to attempt without a well defined plan and a very solid backup of the current setup. probably the best thing is to get some additional server space or a spare machine to practice on. from everything i've seen you have to migrate the DB from 2.X to 3.X, and then again from 3.X to 4.1. if the pdinfo's version of Plone has a lot of extra plugins or add-ons added the migration becomes even more protracted and difficult to manage.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>

Especially if there's some "manual" work to do. It would be nice to do it on the same machine so we don't have to move, which is a potential source for errors.<br>
