hi ..while there's a joomla specific module to migrate to Drupal, I found migrate module is more appealing as it give more flexibility. With that, it also give more complexity.

Spending just an hour I was able to migrate all contents from joomla "content" into 'page" content type. I did try on users, taxonomy as well as the "Edit view content". simply importing maybe the easist part, but a must to explore further on "relationship" and how to use migrate module would be better.

So is there further step-by-step for specific CMS, such as Joomla on using migrate module (beside the screencast, and blog at civicactions.

I wonder if it would be better to make a module that "prepares" the data from other CMS's for the Table-Wizard-Migrate sequence? This is essentially how I'm working with migrate as I'm moving data from an archaic software that deals with indexing oral history interviews into drupal.

As vrteach suggests, the migrate module API allows one to build plugin modules to support particular CMS's. Since we haven't reached a 1.0 release yet, and the API is still a bit fluid, it's a little risky to try to build and contribute such a module at this time, but in the long run I would hope to see such modules for the most common CMS's.
