Test import is running again, it is at 6% completed. Import will likely finish in 22 hours from now.

The content conversion is looking good. It isn’t a 100% conversion, but good enough considering the differences in markdown.

[code] and [quote] are now being converted correctly. Nesting seems to be working ok.

Pending:

  • There is only basic merging of users accounts (email based). Merging based on OpenStreetMap account UserID has not yet been implemented.
  • Imported categories are not merged with existing categories on community.openstreetmap.org. It is likely the categories will be manually merged after the final import.
  • The old forum.openstreetmap.org site and old forum content will redirect to the imported content items on community.openstreetmap.org, the import scripts has some code for creating the permalinks but it has not yet been tested and is likely to requires further work.
  • User Avatar image importer still needs to be implemented.
  • Anything critical missing?
