I tried to search only the GL2 forum for this question, but didn't find it asked. Will GL2 support GL1.X migration of stories? Will the links change? If so, will there be a workaround or we're just SOL?
GL2 will definitely support migration from GL1.3.x. While the links may change, I'm sure a .htaccess file with some rewrite rules will fix things up for you.
