Initial README for upcoming Migrator module.

3 -- SUMMARY --
4
5 Migrator aims to become a generic migration module to convert an existing site
6 to Drupal. It has been developed to support various other/external/remote
7 systems, like Joomla!, Wordpress, aso. through modularized/out-sourced data
8 retrieval functions. It allows to map existing user roles and users, so that
9 a Drupal site can be pre-built and, for example, all contents of the remote
10 system user 'administrator' (with uid 123) can be mapped to the existing Drupal
11 user 'admin' (with uid 1). All non-mapped objects will get new object ids upon
12 migration.
13
14 Currently, support for Joomla! 1.0.x is on the way. Optional support for
15 additional remote system modules (or in other terminologies like Joomla!:
16 Components) is planned.
