I am looking for some help/guidance in migrating the sites that are running on Vignette portal and Vignette CMS. I would like to hear about the best practices, better ways of migrating the content and issues faced and lessons learnt - in the process of moving on to Drupal.

Thanks,
Arun

Check out the following Drupal modules:

- table wizard
- migrate

Using those modules, you can hook up with an external database, map the tables and import nodes, comments, users and taxonomies into Drupal. I did this with Vivvo CMS and worked very well. It can migrate content to CCK fields and file/image fields as well.

But be warned, it's complicated.

Feeds (http://drupal.org/project/feeds) might be useful. I believe it's less complicated (if less flexible) than the Migrate module. Alex Barth from Development Seed gave a presentation about using it for migrations: See http://sf2010.drupal.org/conference/sessions/aggregate-and-import-feeds .
