I am trying to scope what is involved in converting a Bitweaver site with approx 10,000 wiki pages to Drupal.

The main core images and file directories are not really an issue. The site has been designed with an html default NOT a tikiwiki one.

The forum is PhpBB 2.x with images in almost every forum so this may be an issue.

Many of the wiki pages are incorporated into books for ease of navigation.



I'd like to find out what people here have had success with, in replacing a wiki.



I'd like permission levels for groups and for each node - Access Control?

I'd like to have a drag and drop control over the forum hierarchy if that is possible, so that if a forum is better as a thread in a forum I can move it around.

I'd also appreciate icons for 'edit' 'rollback' 'page locking' in the wiki instead of tabs with words.



I am really apprehensive about this - wondering if it is the right decision, wondering if it is better to stick with what I am using, wondering if it is wise to consolidate my cms learning experiences into only one long-term, wondering if Bitweaver will ever be fully functional and safe to use on a live site without fear of running updates. So any encouragement along with specific advice would also be appreciated :)

I've found that Bitweaver 2.6.1 is very stable. I especially like the new Boards package and it's integration with Bitweaver Liberty. I was hesitant to switch from PHPBB, but I find that the ability to search Board comments to be indispensable. If online collaboration is important, then Bitweaver's design has strong advantages thanks to being built with a wiki model at its core.

I to am interested in migrating my customers sites from Bitweaver to D7. I see that there are a lot of migration modules for most of the other CMS programs but not Bitweaver. Has any one out there had any success in migrating from Bitweaver to D7?
