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.
