[quills-dev] Migrations and Plone 3

I have a client with a Plone 2.5 site running Quills 1.5RC3.  They want
to migrate Plone 3.  For my part, since Plone 3.1 is such a smooth
upgrade, I'd like to take them straight to 3.1.

At this point, it seems that their use of Quills is the largest hurdle
to the upgrade.  What is the status and schedule for migration support
and what might I be able to contribute to the migration effort?  I have
quite a bit of experience with contentmigration having written the
CMFMember to remember migration code.

I'm also very excited to hear about QuillsEnabled.  I think this
approach is much more maintainable so I'd very much like to migrate the
client from their dedicated content type instances to stock Plone
content types using QuillsEnabled.  Is there a migration path planned
for migrating previous Quills content into Quills enabled content?
If so, what's its status and schedule?

The option I'd like to avoid recommending to the client is that I write
some one off migration code that migrates their blog content to vanilla
Plone content if the maintenance risk of Quills is too great.

This client is, of course, looking to move quickly.  Aren't they all.
:) So I really appreciate any rapid response you can find the time to
give.  Thanks!

Ross
