Shal,
Upon request, BigTent Support sent our group's BigTent moderator a dump of all discussions dating from the time the group moved to BigTent in 2014 up to to a few days ago.? It took a few days for them to get this done.? The dump was in .tgz format, and our tech guru, Bob Leder,?
successfully created a simple python program to convert the entries from that dump into email messages and mail them individually to our??group.? They're showing up just perfectly on the new group. Looks like he's nailed the process,?and he has just emailed BigTent support that if they are interested he'll go through the process of making the program more presentable and forward it.? If anyone here would like it, please contact Bob directly:?Robert Leder?<robertfleder@...>
?
Bob has also asked BigTent if we can get a .tgz or?other dump?of our files and/or pictures.? He notes that we could have someone manually do the work or he try to hack together a program?to to?the download, but it would obviously be easier if BigTent could provide a dump or link.? That was just sent and we've had no response yet from BigTent.
Bottom line: BigTent Support has been more helpful with our migration than we expected.? Thanks to that, it looks like moving our group from BigTent to Groups.io is going to be much easier than we expected.? I'll keep this forum informed of our progress.
