Use case: You want to move away from Wordpress to Ikiwiki as your blogging/website platform, but you want to retain your old posts.
[This](https://chris-lamb.co.uk/projects/ikiwiki-wordpress-import) is a simple tool that generates [git-fast-import](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-fast-import.html)-compatible data from a WordPress export XML file.
WordPress categories are mapped onto Ikiwiki tags. The ability to import comments is planned.
The script uses the [BeautifulSoup][] module.

-----
I include a modified version of this script. This version includes the ability to write \[[!tag foo]] directives, which the original intended, but didn't actually do.

Perhaps slightly insane, but here's an XSLT style sheet that handles my pages. It's basic, but sufficient to get started.
Note that I had to break up the ikiwiki meta strings to post this.
