Re: Migration options?

Scott,

I am a bit confused, what exactly is the output format of your export?
Is it any "standard" wiki db format ? Something an other wiki can import

Re: Migration options?

It's just a framework... as in, you'd have to write code (though
concievably less than if you tried to do this from scratch) to get any
