Ning Importer Now With BuddyPress Support

First round at Ning data import to BuddyPress
Boone B. Gorges, an independent WordPress and BuddyPress guru, has just announced his first stab at a data importer to get your Ning users setup inside of WordPress.
As of right now, it does not have any BuddyPress-specific functionality. But the data that it does import – display name, username, email address – are enough to populate at least the beginnings of a BuddyPress profile. The next thing to add is the auto-import of certain profile fields. I might try to do this tomorrow.
To stay up to date with the progress of this plugin, be sure to check back here or to his blog for more details.

Volunteers helping to code bridges
Right now Boone B. Gorges is already starting to build an importer for BuddyPress to help get your existing Ning data safely into WordPress and BuddyPress. At this point he appears to be the front runner.
Brad Williams and company from WebDevStudios are thinking of making an RSS scraper, to assemble a Ning site’s information in chunks and turn that into an importable WordPress data file.
