Seeking co-maintainer
Due to current work commitments I'm not able to give this module any TLC or improvements. If anyone would like to become a co-maintainer I would appreciate it - and could possibly arrange some time to go through the code and explain the structure of the module.
Overview
The purpose of this module is to be able to export nodes, taxonomy terms and users to data files and then be able to import these data files into Drupal sites. There may be many uses for this module but the main one would be that it can provide a way to export data from a live Drupal site and then to import that live data into an updated version of that site.
So, data can be exported and then imported - hence the name; Data Export Import.
Pullpush project
Please note - you may be interested in the Pullpush project which is over at Github at:
https://github.com/SSVC/pullpush/wiki
Pullpush describes how to set up a development server which can be used for Drupal projects. It also provides scripts which can be used to set up Drupal sites from scratch and to manage development and deployment.
Important note RE data integrity
The idea of this module is that when data is imported it is exactly the same and has exactly the same ID numbers as when it was exported. This is so that links/URL's/terms/etc will work in the same way on the site where the data is imported as the site which exported the data.
