Can you suggest EE 2 replacements for these EE 1 add-ons?

    So, fingers crossed, I may finally have found a good way to move my EE 1 galleries so that I can upgrade to EE 2. If anyone is interested, I am basically using a template to export the relevant data from each gallery to create a csv file that hopefully Solspace’s Importer will take care of re-importing once I have upgraded. It is untested, but hopefully I can get it tested soon, too.

    However, I have some other bits and pieces to square away first and I was hoping that those who have been on EE 2 for some years now might be able to help. What I need is to find replacements for some of the add-ons that I am currently using.

    Modules:

    Acronym

    Plugins:

    HTML Stripper
    Multipurpose Limiter
    Wikee Display

    Extensions:

    Link Entry from the Control Panel to Your Site
    Nested Weblogs

    I am still looking for replacements for the following add-ons:

    Module:

    Acronym (it wouldn’t just allow you to set pop-up definitions for acronyms, you could also have it replace a string of text with another; for example, you could build up a database of such replacements so that whenever you used such a string it would be replaced by a linked version of the string)

    Plugins:

    Wikee Display (allowed for pulling in data from the wiki into a regular template, I used this on my index page to show a random wiki entry)

    Extensions:

    Link Entry from the Control Panel to Your Site (added a link to the entry on your site from the page you get after publishing an entry)
    Nested Weblogs (made the list of weblogs/channels in the publish list much, much shorter by grouping any that started with the same prefix together and adding another level to the menu)

    Any suggestions? The two extensions were really handy little tweaks to the Control Panel.
