Project IV: Migrating websites from CMS platforms to Joomla Core
Project Description
An idea that's been floated a few times in JUGL, an importer using either a csv exporter from another system or a backup solution if they have one. the project is to identify and build an importer into core Joomla articles (categories as well if applicable) to help people migrating from other systems. Wordpress, Wix, Squarespace to help kick of a migration Many platforms and services facilitate the migration of websites from Joomla to their own platforms. Joomla should have such possibility, allowing users to transfer their sites to Joomla, at least when it comes to data. Adding such services to Joomla would ease the migration of existing sites to Joomla.
