add CEe of type "download" and given all special records like news, 
which might also contain images or documements.

add caption:
- get the caption- alt- title- tags from CEs & write to tx_dam
- in case double usage of one image with different caption- alt- title- 
tags = resolve manually
- in case multilang, do the same for "translated" records.

add files lost/moved in or never uploaded to fileadmin (direct upload):
- copy from uploads > fileadmin, dam index them and repeat the above

add files from RTE (which are not in fileadmin)

in case you have more BE-Groups & dir-based permissions (filemounts),
you will have to consider howto determine the right location.

in case an identical file is available twice in fileadmin (different 
name or directory) you have to decide which one to link.

hth as a starter,
