I've had no experience of using Groovy so will need to look into that, is it quite a steep learning curve to get the hang of? Our existing CMS content can be exported as xml files so I assume that any scripts would need to amend the xml tags and add code before importing to Magnolia. Is that how it works basically? Sorry if these are low level dumb questions but it all seems quite a task at the moment.

I actually had to do it for quite a large website (maserati.com) which was the primary reason why I wrote OM's Groovy Shell module. With Groovy you have flexibility (can change/adapt your script on the fly without deploying anything to your servlet container and restart it) and several nice features to handle sql and xml easily. See also http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/modules/groovy.html and http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/WIKI/Groovy+Shell+Scripts.

I don't think the import feature is designed for this sort of process. Is the only way to manually create new pages from scratch? Quite an issue for us as we're considering migrating our current intranet, over 7,500 pages, from our current CMS into Magnolia. Has anyone had any experience with this, it must be a fairly common problem. Any advice most welcome.
