Converting to Drupal

I heard of Drupal when my organization received a proposal in response to an RFP to redevelop our site. Our current supplier uses proprietary software and I don't like the fact that we will never own our site. So, one bidder suggested developing our site with Drupal. The question I have is: should this small 2 person company default on their services will it be easy for us to find someone who can take over the site development and administration?

Hi Drupallers,

I made a wordpress backup (100 category, 3260 posts). It's a .XML file.
How do i easily import category/posts and if possible blog comments to drupal?

Thanks

Is it possible to run php2lua as a standalone php script rather than as a drupal module to batch-run multiple scripts?

How could I input each php script in turn?

How might I do that?

Thank you

Chris

Hi guys, please could you help

I'm currently running a community website with over 11,000 users which I would like to move to Drupal.

The backend i'm using uses all my own code which i've integrated with Web Wiz forums, however the passwords in Web Wiz are stored, i believe as MD5 hashes.

In the database for Web Wiz is the

hashed password : BC21390DE1EB2F359C1482689743ED67AAA017D0
and a salt : EA17B65

I've tried importing the users & passwords directly into Drupal however login fails.

Hey all!

I'm looking to import essentially an entire 4.6 site (and also a 5.x site) into a Drupal 6 install as subsites. What are some general approaches to this? My plan now is to essentially try to hack the data by adding the same number to the nid field in the node table, along with other similar ideas. But this seems like a bad idea.

Does anyone have suggestions and/or links, or resources of any kind? I'm not really sure where to start. I'm having a hard time finding resources on this subject (even though I own all the Drupal books).
