[TYPO3] Content migration from legacy cms (EZ Publish)

[Amiran Chyb]

hi there


For one of my clients apart from setting up a CMS I'll have to do full  
content migration from their former CMS - EZ Publish. The content consists  
mainly of news items (thousands of them).

What approach would you recommend and what should I know before starting?

I was thinking about writing python or php script to do it (getting item  
 from 1 db, putting it into 2nd DB with proper changes and so on), but  
maybe it would suffice to put those 2 db's into same server and just write  
SQL scripts?

Where should I look to be sure that I won't miss any fields in Typo DB  
that should be populated while creating typo3 records?

Or maybe I'd rather create content elements one by one with PHP script  
calling Typo3 API?


thanks a lot
Am
