[consulting] Wordpress to drupal conversion

[Larry Garfield]

Not to pull business away from people, but have you looked into this module:

http://www.borber.com/en/projects/wp2drupal

It's a bit rough, but I used it to convert my blog successfully from WordPress 
to Drupal last fall.  If you're looking for something to fund, I'd say a 
Drupal 5 upgrade and general polish on that module would be the best bang for 
the buck.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
