This is likely a technical headache but might address some of the use issues....
Allow a user to import THEIR posts from an other-site community. Regardless of other posts in the comm. Allow import to a personal journal (may need to handle Multiple import if it doesn't now - I might want all my u...@lj stuff plus my communit...@lj stuff in my u...@dw account). Allow import to a DW community if the user maintains the community or the maintainers have aithorized the user for imports (similar to posting rights). Allow maintainers to permit free imports or handshake. In handshake I try to import all my posts from community x @ LJ (or whatever). DW confirms I can (that they're my posts) and then stops. It tells the maintainers that user a...@dw wants to import user b...@lj's posts from community x. They can then authorize or deny. If they authorize, DW notifies me and gets anything needed to perform the actual import at that point. Does that seem like it would solve at least some scenarios without making big problems? I know it sounds technically complex to me but it seems like it has at least some of the desired results.
