yup, talk about unfun.

The initial development of ImportPlugin was for Sharepoint and canvaswiki, and the code quickly became specific to the client's data, so I'll be killing that off.

instead, I'm starting a new plugin called ImportExportPlugin that will subsume the ideas from here, from GetAWebPlugin and DownloadZipPlugin, and try to automate the upgrade of TWiki webs.

we'll see how far i get before this too becomes too specific to the current enduser :/

Hi Sven Do you know of a plugin that could help import data from Sharepoint into foswiki? Will

-- WilliamMorgan - 13 Feb 2012

yes, and no :/

I did a successful migration from Sharepoint - it took a bunch of code to grab all the data from sharepoint (html scraping) then a pile of more code that I then customised for that site's html, and then more code to munge it all together.

for me to release that code will take more time, as its pretty site specific, so the best I can offer right now is a little consulting time.
