<tr>
<td>neecoe</td>
<td>LB in core with Canvas data model would be great imho</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>catch</td>
<td>There is[#3521155] and the related issue to make LB more optional.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>smustgrave</td>
<td>Have also seen modules get new life once they move so maybe LB moving could be for the better</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>kmonty</td>
<td>Curious if anyone has experimented with migrating a LB site to Canvas? I know a guide was posted here in Slack a few weeks back. Is this expected to be as challenging as, say, a Drupal 6 to 7 upgrade was? Given LB appears to be going away (at least in terms of community support), are applications that bought into that space going to have to expect to rebuild much of their website (content, front-end)? edit: found the post in Slack. Looks like there’s enough blocking issues that it’s too early to really know how hard this will be. But it sounds promising! (edited)</td>
