It is the FAQ Cena collected from the forums.

I think the Greymatter, upgrade from b2 and security areas should be priority.

I'll Start:
Q) How do I move to WordPress from Greymatter?
A) We've inherited a conversion tool from b2 called gm-2-b2.php. It seems that
most people find it more profitable to move to the last version b2 and then to
wordpress. Yes, this takes a bit more work, but we think you'll be pleased with
the ease and speed of the process, not to mention the end results. Basically,
your steps should be backup, install b2, convert by opening gm-2-b2.php in your
browser, install <acronym title="WordPress">WP</acronym>, convert to <acronym
title="WordPress">WP</acronym> by opening b2-2-wp.php in your browser and
following the directions. The whole process could take you as little as a 1/2
hour depending on your knowledge of the system and bandwidth. Speedy upgrade
tip: If you upload all the files into different directories and then move them
into the correct one at the appropriate times you can save the possibly lengthy
upload times between steps that will leave your visitors emailing you about
problems. :-)
