Ubercart OSCommerce Import

I recently finished a quick and dirty (well, not so quick...800+ lines) module for a one-time import of an OSCommerce store into Ubercart. I have a long history with OSC, and see it going nowhere fast (v3 has been due for decades).

The module imports customers, newsletter subscription info, orders (line items, totals, status history, comments, products), and products. Right now it does it from csv files, but I envision it working from a live osc database as well.

I'd like to take it and rework it as a clean module. The import, and handling the various options on the many decisions that need to be made when doing so, is fairly complex, so I'm seeing it taking quite awhile, and would really like to avoid having someone else come out with the same thing.

I would also like to make sure there's sufficient interest to warrant the effort.

maybe you want to integrate it with one of the existing modules that try to make import/export

I agree. I've been seeing

I agree. I've been seeing unrelated threads lately about having one import/export with plugins. Unfortunately, the decisions regarding products, options, etc are so numerous, that I see the underlying import engine providing little other than perhaps an api for some of the admin and sql.

still here ?
