Migration of WSS 3.0 to SharePoint Server 2010

I have some ideas grabbed from the internet regarding the migration of WSS 3.0 to SP 2010 server. My thoughts are as follows.
1. WSS 3.0 (with SP2) can be migrated to SharePoint Foundation 2010 directly.
2. The migration of WSS 3.0 (with SP2) to SharePoint Server 2010 is possible by attaching DB upgrade only. The direct migration is not possible.
3. But the WSS 3.0 (with SP2) can be migrated to MOSS 2007 first then to SP Server 2010

SharePoint Designer opens in Contributor mode.

We may face some situation, while editing the site using Sharepoint Designer, it will get open in Contributor mode and we will not be able to edit the site, eventhough we have the Site Collection Administrator (SCA) permission.

By default, Contribute permissions are assigned to the Site Collection Members group. Even though we are part of SCA group, if we are member of Site Collection members the Designer will open in Contributor mode.

To overcome this just disable the contributor settings in SharePoint designer by using the below steps:

1. Open the site in SharePoint Designer.

2. Select the Site Tab -> Contributor Settings.

3. Click on Disable Contributor settings button.

Now we will be able to edit the site.
