Plus: Plone 3.x does not contain all the needed migration steps; it
can only be used to migrate from Plone 2.1 or 2.5.  For migrating a
Plone 2.0 site you need an intermediate step: either install the
latest Plone 2.1 or Plone 2.5 first and upgrade to that.

For version specific upgrade information, see:
