Having helped port a few contrib modules from Drupal 6 to 7, and then from 7 to 8, I'd like to share some tips and recommendations that may help others who are looking to port their modules to Drupal 8. While most articles on this topic focus on the coding – the new APIs, the new directory structures, etc – I'm going to focus on the project management and goal setting aspects of the port effort. In my opinion, the success of an OSS project upgrade can hinge more on these aspects rather than just the code changes, but they are rarely discussed.
