Hi,

I was using Joomla! as CMS software before. I used a component over there (MxComments) to keep track of comments.
I'm currently developing a module which will import the MxComments into the "comments" table of Drupal.

I would like to share this module with the community. MxComments is a seperate component of Joomla! It wasn't installed with the software. I installed it later as a component. It's currently not integrated in the existing "Joomla-drupal-module". Maybe I should add it there?

How does your proposal meet the stated goals of the Knight Drupal Initiative program?: 

I would love to convince more Joomla! users to switch to Drupal by providing a lot of "migration" modules

How long will your project take to complete?: 

3 months (development + testing). I have already done the analysis

How will you implement and distribute your project?: 

I'm currently the only developer, but I'm seeking for more experienced developers. Source code will on Drupals CSV server. I would love to have first a documentation site before the actual coding starts

What is your total budget estimate and how much funding are you requesting: 

Budget? Hell no? ;-). I'm doing this for free. I don't have any sponsorship
