Subject: Migrating popular PHP projects to Grails
To: Grails Users

Hello guys,

My company is in the business of automated software migration. We
currently focus on the migration from PHP to Java at source code
level. Apart from our commercial activities, we are also interested to
migrate some well-known open-source applications away from PHP. We
already finished the migration of phpBB 2 to Java (see
http://nbb2.sourceforge.net), whose result powers our own forum:
http://www.numiton.com/forum/.

As further steps, we want to take on the migration of other popular
PHP projects like WordPress and Joomla. Due to the internal
architecture of our migration tool we can relatively easily add
support for other JVM based target languages and not just Java. And we
know that Groovy and Grails have gained a lot of popularity.

This is why I want to approach the Grails community and ask about your
interest on having PHP projects migrated to this framework. Would you
use and/or extend such a project once we migrate it? Please let me
know your opinions, as they will be the decisive factor in our medium
term plans.

Thanks,
Robert
