I've aggregated content related to the Open Media Project and CiviCRM from several sources (GDO, openmediaproject.org, blip.tv, DOM) and compiled it in list form here. This content deals with integrating CiviCRM and MERCI, establishing CiviEvents for classes, as well importing Facil data. My reason for doing this is because I completed importing data into MERCI, and am looking to re-import user data and focus attention on the CiviCRM side of things. I started looked at all these resources independently and realized it be good if they were all on one page.

Importing into CiviCRM
I'm going to approach importing data into CiviCRM from Facil with CiviCRM's import feature:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC32/Importing+Data
First I'm going to identify what membership and class data and other data from Facil that is important and then map that to corresponding CiviCRM locations.
User Import
User Import is used to import user data into Drupal
http://drupal.org/project/user_import
And here is an explanation of that module
http://drupal.org/node/137653
Problem is that this module looks like it cannot be used to do an update of email addresses.
Here's an explanation:
http://drupal.org/node/823594
So I'm trying to figure out how I can update the user data in Drupal before importing CiviCRM data
User Prune
Looks like I need to simply remove and then reimport User data.
This tool, User Prune, looks like it will work: http://drupal.org/project/user_prune
Embarking on an Open Media Journey
Thanks for the info.
