I hope this is possible. I saved an XML file of my article database from e107 and I'd like to convert it to drupal. I'd appreciate any help in making the conversion.

If anyone has a conversion utility and can convert it for me or would just like to take a look at what needs to be converted the file is here: http://www.vizualds.com/rig/e107_content.xml

Its over a hundred articles or it wouldn't be a big deal to me.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give. After exploring Drupal I really wish I'd decided to use it first. Seems much more flexible.

I would probably try out the import-export (http://drupal.org/node/14858) or node import module (http://drupal.org/project/node_import) in that order.

The best way might be to create a couple of nodes (eg. pages) and export them. Then check out the format and the order of the exported info. After that you could try to format and order your own exported info the same way.
Do a test import of a few pages and check that it works before beginning with the grande import!

It seems like only Drupal Books and Taxonomy can be imported in xml format by any of the present modules.

I'll have to import maybe 1500 pages from another CMS into Drupal sometime later this fall and I decided to write about that experience!
