If some help is needed with tweaking of conversion script (actually, I promised to Kdenlive developers that it will work without any additional user interaction and need to export xml, but it has not been happened yet ;) ) or administration (I cannot change the user rights, but can delete and move pages ;) ) I will try to help.
