            Any word on whether this will happen at all? It's been an open question since June 2014.

            I also have a site on OSQA and I'd like to migrate it onto Conf Questions. Any tips/scrips would be helpful.

            Great point. That would at least open the door. The value to Atlassian is that you've created a migration path that doesn't shut out folks like us that would consider moving from another tool. Without that path Confluence Questions can't even be in the conversation.

            Least you can do is post an article on how Atlassian recently migrated its own data

            Any update on this? We'd consider moving from phpBB into our existing Confluence instance, but the investment tied up in the 10 years of history we have w/ phpBB will make this a deal breaker.

            If an out-of-the-box solution isn't available, but there's a back door we can use like guidance on populating the db directly I'd be game for that. Just need some type of solution - be it polished or otherwise.

            Thanks,
            Mike

            We would like to migrate from askbot. I can dump askbot's Q&As using

            cd project_directory
python manage.py dump_forum

            and am happy to adapt to some reasonable Atlassian format (e.g. csv) if it's documented.

            This would be a deal maker/breaker for us. Our OSQA instance is internal now, but we plan to productize it and make it public. If there was an import solution, then the cost of CQ would be easily justified by avoiding the cost of productizing OSQA. However, the cost of manually moving content would outweigh the productization effort.
