We've released a Drupal 7 module to help you determine if your Drupal 7 website can be upgraded (easily) to Backdrop CMS. The module will compile a list of your projects along with the status of Backdrop CMS equivalents. Testing and feedback wanted.

Too many Drupal 7 sites are moving to Wordpress, Wix, or other platforms and they don't even know that Backdrop is an option. If we can get the word out, Backdrop LIVE is a chance for them to learn about Backdrop as an alternative. #Drupal7EOL

We are also watching this number closely and hoping that #BackdropCMS might help keep some of these folks in the "family." Backdrop is like a better version of #Drupal 7, with many D8 features, and D7 -> Backdrop upgrade path.

Always love this historical #Drupal deployment chart. Worth noting that D7 still makes up 54% of live sites. Jump from D7 -> D8 was huge, and a lot of the community simply didn't / won't make the leap. #WCM #CMS
