Some time ago I've been dealing with upgrading parts of the Drupal
instance and I managed to circumvent what I considered being all the
relevant issues - until people complained about the missing service
provider directory  :-)

The site still runs Drupal5 on PHP 5.2, current version is Drupal8. 
There *is* a migration path but it'll most certainly drop some pieces
of the site here and there.  I'd offer to perform migration of the
core, most of our website and fix as many issues as possible, but I'm
unable to care about every little detail - because I'm no Drupal expert
and my time doesn't permit reaching that level.

We could set up the new site on a different machine and find someone
who'd be willing to walk the old and the new site and note the
differences.  This would match website/marketing committee's role, I
think.

Just a suggestion, let me know what you think about it.

Cheers,
	Martin.
