The primary issue with an export/database dump is that, although each project has its own drupal installation, the userid/usernames are shared. that means exporting a single drupal forum would include thousands and thousands of userids even though the project itself might posts from a small subset of that. these userids are the same one we use for cvs and everything else, and so the passwords couldn't be easily dumped, too (they are not part of the drupal installation). When I moved FoxyProxy off of mozdev, I lost all of its drupal forum content. I started over with phpBB, losing years of posts. And since mozdev didn't offer forums at all back in the old days, this was actually the 3rd "forum conversion" the project went through. eric
