Magento Theming Between Community & Enterprise - magento

I have recently been developing a theme for Magento Community v.1.7, and have found out that my client needs to launch on Enterprise.
My current theme is built on top of the Base Community theme.
If I use this theme in a Enterprise install, will it work properly? Is the Base theme for Enterprise the same as in Community?
I know this question has been asked before, but I saw this article (http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/magentos-theme-hierarchy#3.2) that talks about the theme hierarchy being changed around. I'm hoping that this makes it so themes built on top of Base will transfer over easily.
Thank you for your help!

The best way to build a theme is creating it with your own package name and inside it a default theme. But as you say you have already built it on top of your Base theme, which though not a good practice, will work fine in Enterprise version.

One Pica Avalara Avatax Magento Extension compatibility with Magento Enterprise Edition 1.13, has anyone tried to integrate the two yet?

I have been tasked with integrating the One Pica Avalara Avatax extension into a Magento 1.13.0.2 project.
Installation was easy enough and the module appears to be functioning correctly on the backend. However, the client does not yet have account credentials with Avalara, so I can't test the extension with the newest version of Magento. I was wondering if anyone here has integrated the Avatax extension into the latest version of Magento successfully. My concern is that with Magento's latest update (which includes major changes to Tax Calculations) will there be conflicts between Avatax and the new core code?
Thank you,
Emil
The latest available version of the One Pica Avalara Magento Extension is is 2.4.3.1 (May 16, 2013). It can be obtained via Magento Connect or downloaded directly from OnePica's website.
The extension supports all current versions of Magento Community after 1.2 and current versions of Magento Enterprise after 1.5.
Hopefully this helps!

DotNetNuke - Best Way to Move From Professional to Community Edition

What is the best process of moving a 200+ MB DotNetNuke site from Professional to Community edition? I am asking the Stackoverflow community since DotNetNuke's standard line is "there is no supported option to switch from PE to CE", or to contact their customer support. However DNN support told a fellow team member tell us that it was not possible to go from Professional to Community, so that was a waste of time.
Based on research there are a couple possibilities for doing this:
Create a new Community Install and then module by module going through and moving it piecemeal. Here - http://www.dnnsoftware.com/forums/forumid/0/threadid/427840/scope/posts
Make backups of the Professional and then install the Community Edition over it, and then go through the web.config and verify that each piece is correct. Here - http://fl2rs.com/downgrading-dotnetnuke-from-professional-to-community-edition/
Which one has the most success of converting DotNetNuke Professional Edition to Community Edition? Also, if you know of a better method please share. Thank you for your time.
Edit
Looking back at this question the only real way to convert a complicated site is to basically rebuild it which I did successfully. And if you are trying to switch from an older version of Professional to a newer version of Community even more so. I would also like to note that going to Community was the correct decision since none of the extra functionality we even used, and their support was never helpful anyway.
I don't think there's a built-in downgrade feature from Professional to Community Edition. As it was noted here in this question, DNN professional and DNN Community Edition share the same codebase. In other words, DNN Pro is DNN CE with some extra built-in extensions such as document manager, impersonate user, different caching, etc. That means 99.9% of modules and skins will run fine in either edition.
Option 1: Seems tedious but would surely work.
Option 2: I would make a backup copy of the site on a development machine and try to do it there before attempting it on the production server. Please post the results for this if you try it.
Good luck.
Option 1 would work, but I'm not sure about Option 2.
I've heard that this is not supported by DNN, but if you open a support ticket, they can walk you through the process.
This is what I found in their support forum: http://www.dnnsoftware.com/answers/cid/414288
If you have troubles with this, I've found DNN on Social Media (G+ and their forums) are more responsive. Sometimes a little prodding is needed.
Late to the party on this one - another option might be to do a portal/site export and then import it into a CE version. It has its own problems with modules that do not support this but if you are HTML content heavy then you can do it.

How to migrate from Enterprice edition to community edition?

I have a store running in magento Enterprise edition, would like to migrate to Community Edition, can you please suggest how I can do this?
I did this from Professional edition to community and there is no way to really migrate. You basically have to export all of your products, import. Install a new copy of the extensions (very often there is a enterprise specific extension), reconfig. And then copy over the cms and blocks, categories and attribute sets.
Some stuff you can do using tables. But its really best to just manually chunk things in and out.

Themes for Magento Community Edition?

Just a quick question, I'm a bit confused.
The only difference between Magento Community Edition and Magento Premium is support, correct?
Are there themes for specific Magento editions, or do all themes work for all editions?
See the official page of Magento that compares the features of all the different Magento versions.
Most likely themes will work for 90% on all editions, unless they use code that is different between Magento versions.
