Hi,
we are looking into migrating D7 to Backdrop, and all our website have either field collections or paragraphs. What is best approach to help with development of either of these modules to Backdrop?

Hi colbyat, re display in the browser: the problem is that when a 500 occurs, this PHP process died before being able to render anything. So that won't work. Logging is possible, but...

I know it's a long and difficult job to make Backdrop known and for people to realize the power (and simplicity) of the product. And I think you do a great job. What I like about Backdrop...
My work and a big thanks to all of you
Looks good. Tres bien! It is definitely worth releasing that. We often have people looking for good simple themes and that is quite a thing of beauty whilst being simple. You're right...

Welcome Irina!
Paragraphs has an active version available:
Help with developing Paragraphs would be welcome in that repository and issue queue!
Field collection has not been ported, to my knowledge. It could either be ported for Backdrop, or allow data to be converted. For example there was some early discussion of a way to upgrade from D7 Field Collection to Backdrop Paragraphs (but I don't think that ever got off the ground in a public way).
Another possibility mentioned in that thread is to convert to Multifield (which is already ported to Backdrop). In that case you could maybe use this module prior to upgrading to Backdrop:
Hi,
I am looking through issues https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/paragraphs/issues and it is not clear to me which ones are blockers for first release. Let me know what is best way to connect with you to figure out best way to contribute.
Thanks, Irina

Hello Irina,
We do have an active release of Paragraphs already, and I expect to make a new release shortly to merge a PR for this issue:
I would love if you could test out Paragraphs on any test/dev sites or upgrades you're working on.
I have some longer-term vision for Paragraphs as well, and would be happy to discuss.
Basically, however you are interested in contributing would be welcome!
I'll send this to your email address as well to open a conversation there.
Peace,
Laryn
