Excellent summary, Greg!
Also, feedapi and the field mapper with the csv parser !!!
Victor
The node import advice you received so far is great.
Another potential solutions is the combination of Table Wizard and
Migrate modules
http://drupal.org/project/tw
http://drupal.org/project/migrate
These were recently discussed on the Civic Actions blog:
http://civicactions.com/blog/2009/jul/25/migrating_your_website_drupal
There's also a whole discussion on the topic comparing options at
http://groups.drupal.org/node/21338
And a group for discussing them at
http://groups.drupal.org/content-migration-import-and-export
There are tons of resources for this topic, but it's still relatively
hard to do the work itself.
Regards,
Greg
