TMP's Great Migration: Progress Report #2

As I've announced, TMP will be moving to a new software package to support its current size and to leave room for continued growth.

Based on my current research, it now appears that it will be possible to use an off-the-shelf content management system, import the data from the old databases, and tweak the software to make everything work.

I am currently setting up the test databases under MySQL.
