I found this converter: http://www.uni-bonn.de/~manfear/html2wiki-tables.php So I guess I will use this one. If anyone has an idea about a better one, please post it here. Prodatron 02:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Nice! There's also this: http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki/ which seems nice enough, but until we try them we won't be able to see the problems they may produce. It's a good start however, given that the Rerource pages are not that complicated anyway! Gryzor

After converting the first articles, I have to say, that both convertors have their advantages and disadvantages. The first one (Uni-Bonn) has sometime problem with tables and paragraph insertion. The second one (Diberri) leaves a lot of non-WIKI-conform HTML tag, but makes the rest of the job in a good way. I guess I will write a macro for Ultraedit for cleaning up the results of the second one and use this in the future. Prodatron 17:49, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

If you add the articles, please don't forget to add the wikilinks on this page, too. It's easier to get to the articles from here without searching. -Octoate 18:45, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Octoate, what exactly are you doing with OpenOffice?? I didn't find a "Save as Wikitext" option in Write... -- Prodatron 10:08, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Ok, sorry, here we are: OpenOffice -> Write -> File -> "Export..." -> "MediaWiki (.txt)". Seems to be a very good methode, too. I just had to insert border="1" sometimes for the tables. Prodatron

Yes, sure. As long as this temp. page is existing this makes sense. Don't know if we should keep this page later, when all articles are linked in the "programming", "tech docs" etc. lists. Prodatron 19:13, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I guess it would be a great idea to keep this article after importing all articles, because this gives a quick overview about what articles orginate from Kevin Thacker's great CPC website. -Octoate 23:09, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

This would be tantamount to having a category, but I dig it. A central page with all the articles linked... I think, btw, that the converter I found is better, because it can also pull entire pages so that you don't have to enter the HTML in it! As I said, I do have this other project so I don't have much time, but with this editor it could be faster... Gryzor
