 === Core tasks ===
+
+==== Add migrate action to port command ==== #migrate
+
+Currently when MacPorts users upgrade to a new OS or hardware they are advised to follow a set of manual [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration migration instructions]. These instructions can be challenging for casual users to follow and in some cases more difficult if executed after the OS upgrade or hardware change.
+
+The goal of the new port migrate action is to automate the processes described in the migration documentation.
+
+* Difficulty: Medium
+* Languages: Tcl, SQL
+* Potential mentors: pixilla
 
 ==== Phase out dependency on Xcode ==== #xcode
