Fedora11 Import Assistant

Import Assistant

What is this ?

This is the description of the feature that i want to be added in fedora 11. As I don't know where to request I created this wiki page.

What is Import Assistant ?

I think there is a need of a (stand-alone)program or addon that important userfiles,configurations to the new fedora system that is going to be installed. So, i think import assisant is such an migration helper like Ubuntu Migration Assistant.[1] For example: During a fresh installation of Fedora 11.Import Assistant should be able to import a user home directory files(like form Music,Documents,Videos etc including all those folders), program configurations such as firefox boomarks etc.

More Detail

Import Assistant should be able to complete following taks: --Migrating a data from old/previous Fedora(Windows and Mac OS X would wider it use...) installation to the new fedora installation(mostly to user home) providing chocies from which directory to import or what to import...

--importing of all instant messenger settings, including logs and passwords (like of pidgin,empathy,emesene,kopete,gyachi,x-chat,konversation and others)

--importing of all PIM data from Outlook and Evolution including actual email, calendar data, and notes...
