WordPress to Django Migration App
Peter Baumgartner
This will app will hook into an existing WordPress database and create
models for all the relevant content. It provides WP users with an
extremely lazy way to convert their site to Django or could be used to
manage a WP install via the Django admin.

I've been thinking about it for a while, nice to see somebody else
beat me to it. :)
It would be interesting to develop a Django blogging app that uses the
native WP database layout (even though it's not a great db layout),
and implements a working, user-friendly admin console on top of that.
People could then swap WP with the new app while maintaining their
data, and having the option of going back to WP. Or even use WP for
presentation and the new app for managing their blog, or vice-versa.

> If only admin the database of wordpress, why not using mysql admin tools,
Because the admin has to perform a few key data manipulations before
publishing. And the mysql admin tools have no support for "nice"
editing of HTML, and lots of other stuff that is essential to
practical blogging.

Because WordPress has lots of plugins that change the way a blog is
displayed, porting every plugin is impossible, thus for quite a few
people a migration of the frontend implies quite a lot of work, so it
makes sense to give users the option of swapping the admin at once,
then take their time to migrate the frontend to Django.

your data. WPs database structure is less than ideal.
My goal for this app was to lower the bar as much as possible for WP
users wanting to try out Django. This is the path of least resistance
for WP users to get their feet wet w/ Django.

That's a load of crap. Until deploying Django sites is a one or two
click thing (or an upload the files thing), more analagous to how easy
it is to deploy stuff in php, there will continue to be a HUGE gulf
between the people that could and would use Django and those that
actually do.
I love Django, but deployment is cumbersome.
