As Zeitgeist currently faces the challenge of migrating from Kusama to Polkadot, I decided to condense all the necessary information into a guide, since it is foreseeable that many more projects will face this challenge. It describes the process from a conceptual perspective, provides all the technical details necessary to actually execute the migration and also offers methods to recover a failed migration in different contexts.  
I want to thank KILT (the first team to ever migrate from Kusama to Polkadot) and especially Dudley and Albrecht from Kilt for reaching out a hand during the early stages and providing crucial information.

The official and always up-to-date guide [is available on GitHub](https://github.com/zeitgeistpm/migration-guide)  
A version is also [available on HackMD](https://hackmd.io/9AvtlSmNR--Q8zXWTHE9iw?both)

We at Zeitgeist highly appreciate any feedback and collaboration, let’s up the standard!

The link to GitHub isn’t working for me. Maybe it’s a private repository?

Thanks for making this guide and for sharing Zeitgeist’s experience.
