Moving the data out, is near impossible! There is no way to directly extract the information, and even writing an app to extract it is very difficult as well. BigTable only lets you get 1000 records at a time....so extracting all your data is going to be tricky.....not to mention different records in the same table can have different fields and schemas...
Its a real shame django's ORM doesn't work....yet, but there are enough people working on getting it up and running, I don't think it will take them too long to include a backend for appengine.

I'm having a good chuckle at all of you from gmail talking on a google group about being worried at giving google more data ;). The thing that would concern me most is not being able to take that data out and move it elsewhere..
