Hi there, I've written a migration tool (to import blog data from a version of Blojsom) which I'd like to make available to anyone who might find it useful. It's a php script designed to be run from the commandline. Is the contributions/tricks/ directory the sort of place I should put this tool, or should I just be hosting it on my own website? It's a tool with pretty limited scope (it does what I needed it to do but no more). So my motivation is to just make sure anyone planning a similar migration can see a previous effort and maybe use it as a starting point, rather than provide a complete off-the-shelf tool which will "Just Work" (tm). Thanks, Ben.

Cool. The contributions/tricks directory would be a good place to put your script. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/

Please also add a detailed page about it in the handbook in the appropriate "tricks" or "snippets" tree. I find that there's a lot of cool stuff in CVS that many people (myself included) just don't know about because it's not publicized.

While this is correct, the visibility of this place is close to 0 since there are no downloads on drupal.org for this directory. Cheers, Gerhard
