Importing movable type data file to Roller

[Van Rogers-Ho <va...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm looking to move from Moveable type to Roller. However, I don't see much
in the way of importing into Roller. There seems to be a lot of
documentation on exporting out of Roller to MT or Wordpress format.

Has anybody tried importing MT into Roller? Is this all SQL or are there
Roller utilities/plugins available?

Thanks,
Van

Here's one possible path:
- Export Movable Type data to a file
- Write a Java (or Groovy) program to read that file and create posts
and comments in Roller

Here are some example Groovy scripts for creating users, posts, etc. in Roller:

Hope that helps,
