I've been tasked with rebuilding a successful desktop application into a web application. A few relevant points:

- The app is in the scheduling realm and involves some semi-complicated algorithms

- I did not contribute in any way to the desktop app and it's written in an old language that I don't know at all

- I plan to build the new app in Ruby on Rails, which I am experienced with

- We've identified ~75% of the current functionality that needs to be included in the first version of the web app

- The desktop app has had strong acquisition interest in the past and the best case scenario for all parties would to be acquired in the next 2 years

What steps would you suggest I take to make the process as successful and pain-free as possible?

We've had a couple of these threads in the past. It's time for another one.

If you have any side projects that you've built and that you no longer have time for, list them here and let's see if others want to buy it from you.
