AW: [opencms-dev] Using DB Import instead of "the hard way"

[Thomas Gagné]

Most of the files are graphics, but many are html.  So having uploaded 
most of the directories using the zip upload is useless to me because I 
won't be able to edit the HTML? After they're already in OpenCMS is 
there a way to convert them to XML?

Did everybody create their sites in OpenCMS from scratch?  How many 
people had existing sites that they moved into OpenCMS?
