wanted: migration script 4images 1.7.x-> Gallery2

Hi there, G2 folks.

My community site needs to migrate from 4images gallery to G2, due to the obvious reasons 4images gallery counts around 1100 pics and 1000 users. So I need an automated solution for migration, but I don't have any time for learning G2 API and writing this script.

I'm ready to donate a little something to those of your who are eager to write migration module and release it under GPL.

The module should migrate (in order of priority):
1. images
2. albums structure
3. user base
4. user comments
5. images & albums permissions
6. user favorite images & other goodies

4images db structure is pretty simple, so it should not take a long time.
It would be great to get something working in a month or sooner.

I think it would be great for faster G2 adoption to write several migration modules from other popular galleries like Coppermine, 4images, etc.

All the best,
Alexander Krestinin aka alkor

I second this. I have a phpnuke 7.6 site running Coppermine, and would switch to Gallery 2 if I could find a way to migrate my Coppermine module, lock, stock and barrel to Gallery 2.

Is there a turnkey solution from the Gallery 2 developers for this?

Like alkor says, Gallery 2 adoption will be really ramped up if there are ready-made migration modules for the other popular galleries.
