Hi Jon We've imported data from several CMS systems into Magnolia. Some were easy, some were hard. Chances are that you will have your data in an SQL database. We've extended the ImportHandler classes from the data module to fetch the data from these sources and build up the site tree. Depending on your legacy CMS and requirements this can be quite a task but it is definitely better than importing 7500 pages manually.
