+== The problem ==
+
+Maestro currently connects to one repository at a time during any one session. There is a whole class of scenarios (such as repository migration) that are currently not possible because of this limitation.
+
+== The solution ==
+
+Introduce a whole set of APIs that operate on more than one IServerConnection instance.
+
+An example of such an API 
+
+{{{
+
+public class CopyResources
+{
+    public IServerConnection SourceConnection { get; }
+    public IServerConnection TargetConnection { get; }
+
+    public List<string> SourceResourceIds { get; }
+
+    public bool CopyResourceContentOnly { get; set; }
+    public bool OverwriteExistingResources { get; set; }
+
+    public void Execute(MigrateResourcesCallback callback);
+}
+
+}}}
+
+Because these APIs work against the IServerConnection interface, you are free to use whatever underlying implementation.
+
+Once support is available at the API level, we can then introduce this functionality into the Maestro user interface proper.
