Well, here is an oDesk job offer for the migration… to those of you that work for Discourse, if you can do this project, I am willing to give you any code that you write for me.
In other words, I am willing to pay you to improve your Vanilla Forums importer script!
Unfortunately we can only work within the constraints of a customer signing up for a business hosting plan ($200/month) and agreeing to a year of hosting up front.
OK, I guess the opening bid is $2400 Any others? By the way, Jeff, thanks for the post… that is exactly what I would do if I were in your shoes.
To others who might be able to do it for less than the above quote, I am not stuck on oDesk. I am happy to work directly with you any way you like. The oDesk offer is just for those that prefer to use oDesk.
