Convert KWiki to MediaWiki

[Nicolai Erbs]

Hi,

Unfortunately I'd like to convert a KWiki to a MediaWiki and searched
for utilities, but unfortunately I didn't find any. I don't want to
copy-and-paste every single site. Do you know any tools, which provide
this possibility?

Or is there any script available?

Cheers,

Nicolai

I took this:
http://xoa.petdance.com/Convert_Kwiki_to_MediaWiki
and modified it to handle tables, bold/italic, lists, our local kwiki
hacks, etc. It's pretty straightforward.

Thanks for your help, Dave. I tried the script today and it converts the
database to an XMLdump. I still have problems importing it into
MediaWiki. I used importDump.php and after that I rebuilded the recent
changes site, but it is not appearing anywhere nor are there any recent
changes.

Nevertheless you wrote that you extended the Script to convert tables as
well. Would you like to send me that script as well?

Thank you in advance,
Nicolai
