The best way to move an established game to Jumpgate?

Are there community wiki pages with advice on this? Pages in the Help Center? YouTube videos? Or do I just wait for the main server to upgrade when Jumpgate comes out of Beta?

I recommend testing your game with your Free testing account before trying to run it with your regular players. Check for grid alignments, dynamic lighting, macros & mods, etc., before running it live. We've seen a lot of folks caught out because they didn't do this!
Also, bear in mind that the copy action DOES NOT copy any api scripts you've used, you'll need to re-add them to the copied game.

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! Luckily I really haven't used an API scripts except for hastening the creation of DL layer lines. I tend not to use scripts to assist in live play. But I'll take your advice when I copy things and test. I notice that when I copy my current game into jumpgate, despite selecting the copy forum messages checkbox, it doesn't copy the forum messages. Is this still unsupported and soon to be fixed--given the checkbox for it?
