Question Phpbb3 migration

Hello,
I am trying to move over to Kunena from phpbb3, I am wondering how much longer it might be until the conversion tool for 1.6 is ready.
I do know about the fireboard route, but would rather wait till a tool for 1.6 is available so I can do it cleanly rather than having to install other pieces of unnesecary software.

Any info at all would be great, Im not looking for an exact date just a guestimate.

docs.kunena.org/index.php/PHPBB3_to_Kunena

As I said, I want a CLEAN way of converting directly to 1.6, that page unfortunatly is of zero use to me. Ie straight from phpbb3 3.0.8 straight to Kunena 1.6, I'm not going to install fireboard first etc.

The only piece of info I am looking for is when a conversion script will be available to convert phpbb3 3.0.8 directly to Kunena 1.6

However thanks for the reply anyway, I do appreciate it.

Hi, I have a question regarding PHPBB3 to Kunena - step by step
docs.kunena.org/index.php/PHPBB3_to_Kunena

Editing go.php

// Joomla database prefix
$joomla_dbprefix = "jos_";

Is that right? Or i have to change it to "jos_fb_" ?

Will those instructions work with Joomla 1.6?

I asked the developers the other day about this question of developing a "forum migration" component for "Brand-X-to-Kunena".

I was informed that, while the basic design of the component has been put in place, the remaining work to complete the task has stalled because of non-availability of resources. What is required at this time is for a programmer to be engaged, to work on this task, and to pay that person for their time. I don't remember the ball-park figure that was mentioned but I understand it is in the order of a few thousand dollars. That's the current state-of-play as I understand it and I may have misunderstood the information I received (so please don't take what I've written as an official response). I'm just trying to provide you with an update.
