    I have a rather large repository from a previous incarnation of a web site (actually on Movable Type) that I would like to transfer intot an EE2.1 install - what options are there now to make this migration.

    Doesn’t seem to be any native way as existed with 1.6 - but could you do the migration into 1.6 and then upgrade to 2?

    Only way I can think of.

    Thanks Steven - that’s exactly what I am trying to avoid!

    Hi, Simon -

    Right now there is not a first-party data import.  For the time being, you might consider looking up DataGrab to import your content.

    thanks Lisa - that looks like it will do the job: http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/datagrab/
