My university just launched a [url=http://blog.case.edu]central blog[/url] powered by MovableType. I have been running b2 for a while now, and thought it would be a cool idea to synchronize my blogs. So, I wrote two simple b2evolution <==> MovableType synchronization scripts. They both require the ability to directly connect to your b2evolution database server and that the MovableType server is running the XML-RPC services.

Currently, the scripts are smart enough to recognize duplicate entries (at least to a certain degree). Current limitations are that you can only import or export single blogs at a time. They also support primary category mapping (although I can't get the XML-RPC setCategory call working with MT yet).

The scripts are available on my [url=http://zorro.case.edu/viewcvs/]Subversion server[/url].

The scripts do require some knowledge about the installations (database index values and such), but a seasoned computer user should be able to put the pieces together. I'll probably make it more user friendly in the future, but I thought I would throw out my day's work so I could receive feedback.
