Project migration from Crex to Gorilla open

We will start doing migration of projects from the old system Crex to the new system Gorilla. We will do this project per project and send mail to users when their data is being moved since this will change how the data is accessed by changing the file system paths.

Please note that this will for all users mean new paths to where the data is located in their project directory. We have discussed a lot about how to do this in a way that is reasonably logical. We will also stop defaulting on backing up everything and instead backing up only the backup directory for every project. In many cases many smaller projects will be collected into one project.

So before the move:

/proj/oldprojectname (backed up)

/proj/oldprojectname/nobackup (not backed up)

After the move:

/proj/newprojectname/ (not backed up)

/proj/newprojectname/backup (backed up)

/proj/newprojectname/oldprojectname1 (not backed up, all data from oldprojectname1)

/proj/newprojectname/oldprojectname2 (not backed up, all data from oldprojectname2)

/proj/oldprojectname (will NOT work)

/crex/proj/oldprojectname (will NOT work)

We sincerely hope this will not be too confusing and we will make our best to make the transition as painless as possible.
