There are no good tools for any given conversion, because it's a job that anyone is likely to do precisely once - so the knowledge doesn't accumulate the way it would in an ongoing open-source project. That said, whenever I hear of someone trying to convert another wiki engine to MediaWiki - or away from MW to something else - I encourage them to add their work to mediawiki.org so others can build on it. - d. _______________________________________________ Mediawiki-enterprise mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-enterprise
