[consulting] Need Help w/ MoveableType Import

[Stephen Colson]

If it is easier to get things in to D5 for now, this is only a temporary engineering hurdle. Put it in D5 with very few changes from core + cck, use upgrade path to D6, finish site, launch.

Travis:
Reading this - http://foliovision.com/2009/05/12/typepad-export-options - I would think you're going to have to hack together something that cross-refs an atom export with a CSV to get as many of the missing fields as possible. Good luck.

I would very very very strongly recommend -not- starting a new site on Drupal 5 at this point, considering that Drupal 5 is EOL when Drupal 7 is released, which should be relatively soon (3 - 6 months perhaps?)

The site consists of a little under 4,000 blog posts and over 40,000 comments. I've got everything in place except for capturing "permalinks" and preserving them as path redirects to the new nodes. If anyone has some experience/expertise with this sort of thing, please email me. Thanks!
