During the last few weeks I've been working on a migration script (newbb_to_phpbb) based on a code provided to me by Marcus Moeller to move Xoops+CBB forums, topics and posts into phpBB system.
The users are copied from xoops user table onto an LDAP server.

Big thanks to all the efforts being made and I'm glad to see things are moving forward on this migration.
I have one concern / question. Is it possible to redirect existing URLs to the new one. Forum posts have been referenced in numerous places, both internally (within the forums) and externally. If these links break, it would be a great loss. Google (and other search engines) would eventually re-index, I suppose, so it may not be of much concern.
