Right. I’d be happy to write some tutorials, but I need one to understand where to start.

So 66 votes are in and these are the top picks that we’ll focus on for starters:

- 21% - ✅[phpBB3](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/phpbb3.rb)
- 16% - [vBulletin](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/vbulletin.rb)
- 9% - [MyBB](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/mybb.rb)
- 8% - ✅ [bbPress](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/script/import_scripts/bbpress.rb)
- Other: ✅ Google Groups

I think we’ve got someone for phpBB3, which leaves vBulletin, MyBB and bbPress (the WP plugin).

**We’re paying $200 per import tutorial.** If you’d feel comfortable writing a technical tutorial for either of these import scripts, please send me a PM or [send me an email](mailto:erlend@discourse.org)

I’m working on one. The site that I wrote the importer for had many customizations, so it has to be nearly completely rewritten.
