As a small 3 man team it is often hard to find the necessary time to do everything we want to do and the one big area we would really like to find a new team member for is documentation. So – anyone willing to help out and join up – please step up and talk to us.
The main documentation for the importer is in the plugin itself. Install it (it is a WP plugin) and run it and you will get the help panel.
There are only two main things to know. Firstly it requires an empty SP install. In other words one where no groups/forums etc., have been created. And secondly it will require the source and target databases to be on the same mySQL server.
