NYCPHP Meetup

[forest mars]

We talked about this before I think. AFAIK, there is no killer app for this
sort of migration.

It's funny, bc people often need/want to do this, so it seems as soon as
someone wrote the data migration script and released it, it would quickly be
improved until it was very good.

So, I guess it's up to you!

cheers,
