I want to move away from TWiki to MediaWiki. My problem is migrating the data, as TWiki is RCS files while MediaWiki uses MySQL database. Has anyone an idea beside writing it myself in Perl ?
The XML-based import which aaron alludes to in the development version isn't really ready yet, and the database format is much changed (and still undergoing changes) from the stable release.
Hubert, I don't know of an existing TWiki-to-MediaWiki converter, but take a look at maintenance/importUseModWiki.php in the MediaWiki distribution. This is a quickie script which pulls data out of UseMod's storage files and outputs SQL statements which can be read in to initialize the tables for MediaWiki.
Obviously you'd want to customize it to read from TWiki instead, or write your own which does the equivalent work. If you do make a converter script, please let me know; I'd love to include one with the distribution.
