Proposal 2025: Assisting Modules in Drupal 11 Compatibility

Project Description

Taking on a project idea from 2023. Many important Drupal modules are still not ready for Drupal 11. This makes it harder for developers and site owners to upgrade smoothly.

This project aims to assist in making Drupal modules Drupal 11-ready by identifying top-used but outdated modules, categorizing them, and streamlining their migration process. The project will include:

• Prioritization of the top most-used yet incompatible modules.
• Categorization based on functionality (e.g., e-commerce, security, SEO).
• Automated compatibility checks and migration guides.

By ensuring these modules are compatible, this project will significantly ease the transition to Drupal 11, benefiting developers and site owners alike.

Project Goal

Functional Changes:
• Analyze and prioritize high-impact modules needing Drupal 11 updates.
• Ensure code consistency and adherence to modern Drupal standards.
• Provide clear documentation for developers migrating modules.

User Experience Improvements:
• Enhance documentation for easier adoption.
• Provide a clear roadmap for Drupal 11 compatibility efforts.

Code & Performance Enhancements:
• Ensure PSR standards compliance.
