Sounds like you guys did your due diligence. In that case, of course, writing the app to move them over is the right choice.

Thank you for the article, BTW. It may be obvious to some but not to most. Especially contributing to documentation. I'd say that most open source projects can benefit more from that than from new features ... and maybe even most bug-fixes, depending on severity.

I'm glad you liked the article, and it seems to have struck a chord. One of the things I've found very handy is that I now have a place to point people on, say, StackOverflow when someone asks "How do I get started in open source?" I started 89starts.com as an offshoot of the article, but I haven't yet gotten it ready for prime time.

Agreed about documentation, and at the top of my to-do list for today is making final edits to another article for them on open source documentation. Should be out in a week or two I think.
