Release roadmap for WebSlinger - Bulk Content Importer…
Project Description
Currently WebSlinger will perform a bulk import of .htm,.html,.shtm,.shtml,.jpg,.jpeg,.gif,and .png files from the file system.
The product will also create folderish object for the content to live in.
The html files will be parsed and prettified. WebSlinger allows for a <div id='foo' section of the document for the actual content of the document. If that section doesn't exist, the "body" section of the document will be imported. It will title the documents according to a title tag, and also take into acount discription and meta keywords though meta keywords needs a bit of work.
If you have a static html site that you would like to import into plone, this is the product for you.
WebSlinger is dependent upon BeautifulSoup.
I would appreciate any feedback or criticism.
My real aim is to eventually help to answer this PLIP. Though I realize, this solution isn't on that track at this point.
