<br /></strong> Last week, I mentioned that we would very soon be opening the floodgates to everyone in the <a href="http://creators.ning.com/group/the-sandbox" target="_blank">Sandbox group</a>. I just wanted to keep folks in the loop. The improvements our migration team needs to make, in order to help our servers support the extra load, are still in progress. The work is fairly involved, so thanks for bearing with us as we get this piece of the puzzle firmly in place.<br />
<br />
We're hoping to resume migrations next week.</div>
<p>Since our <a href="http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/migrating-to-ning-3-0-status-update-2" target="_blank">last update</a> on migration, we've been busy!  We can now copy over the following content and features from a Ning 2.0 Network to a Ning 3.0 Network:</p>
<p>- Members<br />
- Blogs<br />
- Forum<br />

<p>At the tail end of December 2013, we started migrating a few networks from the <a href="http://creators.ning.com/group/the-sandbox" target="_blank">Sandbox group</a> as beta migration testers.  These Network Creators helped bring to light bugs and improvements we needed to tackle.  We've been doing exactly that, and letting a few more networks through the door, little by little.</p>
<p>Our migration team has also given my teammates and I the tools to migrate networks for you, and we've all now been trained up on these tools.</p>
<p><a href="http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/migrating-to-ning-3-0-status-update-3" target="_self"><img src="http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/185/885/SANDCASTLES.png?1318627593&width=500" width="500" class="align-full" /></a>I know bunches of you are excited.  So are we!  We're <strong>thisclose</strong> to opening the gates to everyone in the <a href="http://creators.ning.com/group/the-sandbox" target="_blank">Sandbox group</a>.  If you aren't in the Sandbox group, hang tight just a bit longer, as our team is on the small side, so we can only do so much at one time.  </p>
<p><strong>Videos? Events? Moderator Roles? Other?</strong><br />
<br />
For those of you wanting features either not listed above or available on Ning 3.0 Networks yet, you'll probably still want to just keep track of our updates for now, and hold off on migrating your network until we're in Phase Two or Phase Three of the migration process.</p>
<p>Those of you with lots of custom moderators may want to take into consideration that moderator roles don't exist yet in Ning 3.0 before reaching out to us to migrate your network.  That said, moderator roles have been placed on the <a href="http://creators.ning.com/page/product-roadmap" target="_blank">Product Roadmap</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Size Matters</strong></p>
<p>For those of you with larger networks, we're making headway!  One large network (35,000 members!) has been successfully migrated at this time. </p>
<p>That shows that our tools are strong enough to handle the weight, which is awesome, but there are still more improvements in the works to increase the speed at which we can migrate a large network.  Our engineers are also making some necessary back-end adjustments right now, in order to support the increased amount of content that our servers will be carrying, once we begin migrating everyone in the Sandbox group.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for our update next week!</p>
</div>Migrating to Ning 3.0 Status Updatehttps://creators.ning.com/announcements-from-ning/migrating-to-ning-3-0-status-update2013-12-10T18:01:26.000Z2013-12-10T18:01:26.000ZAaronhttps://creators.ning.com/members/Aaron<div><p><span style="font-size: 13px;">As we approach the end of 2013, we wanted to give you an update on the status of the work we've been doing over the last few weeks to migrate networks from Ning 2.0 to Ning 3.0.</span></p>
<p>Since our <a href="http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/upgrading-to-ning-3-0-status" target="_blank">last update</a>, the engineering team working behind the scenes on the migration process has made serious advances. We currently support migrating the following elements of 2.0 networks, with more to come as we continue to make progress:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px;">Members</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px;">Blogs</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px;">Forums</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px;">Photos</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px;">Likes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px;">Comments</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px;">Friends</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13px;">Messages</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Since we want to optimize this process as much as possible to make it easy on Network Creators and their members, we've also focused quite a bit recently on performance. In recent releases, we've succeeded in reducing the time required to migrate networks and their content dramatically in the last few weeks—content is now migrating ten to twenty times faster than when we began this process. This is a massive improvement that will allow the migration process to proceed much more smoothly for you and your members.</p>
<p>We are nearly ready to begin migrating small networks, and will be reaching out to eager members of the <a href="http://creators.ning.com/group/the-sandbox" target="_blank">Sandbox Group</a> in the coming weeks to help us beta the migration process in a live setting. Once the beta is complete, we'll open it up to the rest of the Sandbox here on Creators in early 2014, and later on to all 2.0 networks as part of phase one of the migration process.</p>
<p>We know that some of you are concerned about the "deadline" for migrating to Ning 3.0—this is something we're reviewing, and we'll post an update about this soon in a separate thread.</p>
