While I think this approach is perfectly fine, just in terms of semantics for future migrations, I'd say that the "migration" includes putting the content up on GitHub. This feels more like an export than a migration. > As a point of general information, when Matt and I ran through the > process to see about feasibility we took the textile and ran it > through pandoc[1] to convert it to markdown prior to pushing it into > the github wiki.

The GitHub wiki will merrily work with either format (and some others), but when you create a page in one format, it stays in that format. Since Markdown seems a lot more popular (and, IMHO, sane) than Textile, I thought it made sense to bulk-convert everything as well. So I'd say the flow should be export from Redmine -> pandoc -> import to GitHub as Markdown. -- Matt
