Re: [xwiki-users] Migrate MediaWiki content to XWiki

2014-12-26 Thread Thomas Mortagne
Last time I did a mediawiki import I used
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/sandbox/tree/master/xwiki-wikiimporter,
worked reasonably well but yes there is no release of it (but it's
easy to build it with Maven). Ideally someone need to spend some time
converting and improving the mediawiki part it as an input module for
the new XWiki Filter module (see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Filter+Module).

 Hi all,

 I’m trying to get us migrated from several installations of MediaWiki to one

 migrating the data over.

 So far all the options I’ve found have been sorely lacking.

 -The method provided on the Encodo blog, uses the XMLRPC API which has since 
 been deprecated
 -The Mediawiki to Xwiki Migration Toolkit requires setting up an entire 
 development environment with a special customized version of XWiki just to do 
 the import, which is unnecessarily complex and error-prone.
 -A few other methods which may work, but omit portions such as history.


 Is there a relatively simple batch import mechanism that works with the 
 current versions of xwiki, or am I relegated to importing stuff manually?  I 
 *could* write my own import tool, but if I have to go that route we may as 
 well just do it manually because we will need to audit and clean up the 
 articles anyway.
