I’ve been wanting to move off .Text to something else for quite a while. Either SUB or dasBlog are looking like the place to be at the moment and fortunately they are both supporters of BlogML – if Community Server supported BlogML I might even consider moving to that.

Anyway – the first step in my migration process is getting my existing data out of the .Text database. To do that I have made a first cut of NotGartnerDump which reads directly from the .Text database and spits out a BlogML file. The source is attached.

Hope its useful for those in the same situation.
