Converting to Drupal

Is Drupal Right for My Corporation?

If this message is posted in the wrong forum, I apologize. Have been looking into converting our corporate site over to Drupal. My only concerns, would Drupal be able to provide my corporation's online communication needs. I am not a hard core programmer, but creative director/designer with intermediate insight with PHP. The overview of needed development is as follows:

Anyone out there ever converted an Ideal BB forum to the Drupal forum module? I'm looking at a site with hundreds of thousands of forum posts and trying to figure out whether porting to Drupal is a reasonable option.

I have an MT3.x site that I'm wanting to export from and import into Drupal5.x. I read http://drupal.org/node/860 and tried the import_typepad module (http://drupal.org/node/38172), had some difficulties even seeing the module in my site but after reading http://drupal.org/node/111614 and applying the unreviewed patch and info was able to access it.

Hi,

I have an existing J2EE based web application to which I'd like to add some functionality such as blogging and a forum. I'd like to be able to embed this content within my existing pages. For example I might wish to display a summary of the most recent forum posts or blog posts on an existing page built from a JSP. Is there any way to do this - for example some frameworks provide Javascript snippets (like some the Google API's) that could be embedded with a page.

Help I dont have a clue how to get drupal on my site and up and running

I have a pligg based site that I have been using for a while but after a week of using drupal, I see great potential. This is kind of an oddball question but has anyone tried to convert a pligg based site to drupal, I know that hugg.com did just that and I got a tip that the vote up/down module will handle voting.

I guess, is there a way to transfer the existing data such as user accounts/links/number of votes and the whole thing over to drupal? Any ideas on where to start?
