Dev-Scene is a great idea but impossible to manage.. alot of pros/cons!
Portals contain information can that be carried over to 5)
News should be replaced with a smoother form/WYSIWYG system.
The forum can be transfered/kept in its current location.
the library is a mess - if we have a decent automated system, this can be removed.
the planet is self-sustaining.. easy to leave/transfer
Dev-Scene blogs - These blogs are powered by wordpressMU - Self-sustaining and works well on its own.
