[Tor www-team] Help in migrating from Drupal 5 to 7

[Sean Rafferty]

There is a Drupal module that can be used to help the migration called migrate_d2d.  I have not used it, but there seems to be a good tutorial here.  Going to Drupal 7 is your best at the moment.  Drupal 8 looks like it will be much better than 7, but is too new at the moment.
