Porting guide for version 2

Hi,

I was looking for the porting guide that you made in connection with the sprints this summer. I cannot find a link to it from openkim.org, and when I digged out an old bookmark, it no longer worked: https://openkim.org/kim-api/docs/porting_content_from_v1_to_v2.html gives a "The page you were looking for doesn't exist.”.

Do you still have the guides around?

It turned out I had a PDF I had made for reading in the airplane :slight_smile:

I still think it would be a good idea to restore this file on the website.

Best regards

Hi Jakob,

I've restored the kim-api-v2.0.0-beta.1 docs here:

https://openkim.org/kim-api/docs-beta.1/

with the porting guide here:

https://openkim.org/kim-api/docs-beta.1/porting_content_from_v1_to_v2.html

The current (kim-api-v2.0.0-beta.2) docs remain at:

https://openkim.org/kim-api/docs/

With the completion of the KIM Coding Sprints at the end of the summer, the vast majority of kim-api-v1 content had been converted to support kim-api-v2. As such, we decided that it was not the most efficient use of our available effort to continue to update the porting guide as we made (significant) changes for kim-api-v2.0.0-beta.2 and beyond. So, we removed the guide in the latest kim-api-v2.0.0-beta.2 release.

Cheers,

Ryan

Dear Ryan,

I see your point, it makes a lot of sense. I have just started porting the EMT potential to KIM 2, and just wanted to follow the systematic guide to not forget anything. It unfortunately has to be a low-priority project for me, but I will work on it when time permits.
