<TITLE>Exporting Plone objects to Zope CMF</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear Zope-list,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Running with Zope 2.7.5 Plone 2.0.5..</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>What "nice" method exists, if any, to export CMF-ish things like</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>documents, events, and news items from Plone to ZopeCMF? (Or, what</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>search terms may have escaped me?)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Ideally, I'd like to be able to export folders in Plone and import</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>them to Zope CMF such that Plone-ized CMF items were magically</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>de-Ploned (and allow for sufficiently Plone-ized things to remain</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>broken). Unfortunately, importing folders or most other objects</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>raises a Copy Error::</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> "Object *broken* does not support this operation."</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm just wondering if there are options to porting content by hand</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>..which will be less than a day's work in this case (we're just</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>getting started). In absence of a nice method, I'm curious what</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>methods others may have applied in a similar situation.</FONT>
</P>
