Update FAQ

ShalokShalom

I think some things on the FAQ page are outdated:

<< Will I be able to migrate my forum to Flarum?

Yes, but not for a while. Our focus right now is on getting Flarum stable and feature-complete. Once we’re confident that Flarum is ready to be used in production, we’ll start building tools to import data from other forum software like esoTalk, FluxBB, phpBB, and others. >>

There is at least a phpBB importer, https://forum.kaosx.us used it and it works fine for it, with the only one regression that URLs didnt get ported back then.

<< How do I translate Flarum into my language?

We’re currently working on documentation for the language pack creation process. We kindly ask that you wait until it is ready before attempting to translate Flarum. Thanks for your patience! >>

Hi ShalokShalom,

The migration the FAQ references is official importers maintained by Flarum's dev team, which are not yet under development. We applaud our community efforts to bridge the gap in the meantime.

As for translating, we actually don't have a good set of documentation on how to translate. That part remains completely true. Some adventurous souls have gone ahead and done some spectacular work in the meantime. We're planning to address the shortage of documentation in the future, and this may be one way in which we can do so.

Thanks for your feedback and for continuing to support Flarum.

phpBB import was done with a user script, not part of Flarum (yet):

Updating the documentations has been discussed. The team and the community are working on it as we speak.
