  • Regardless of what *general* criteria we come up with for importing data, we should accept requests for *specific questions* to import. I re-asked a couple of my unanswered questions here, because we didn't have data import, but that's not ideal (and will create duplicates if we ever do import the originals). Further, this do-it-yourself approach only works for your own content unless you invest a lot of effort to rewrite someone else's question in your own words. If you want to answer a question here but it was asked there, you can't do that easily.
  • Let's create a post where people can edit in links to questions they'd like to import, and once a week or so the developers can import those (or if there are a lot, a manageable subset with the rest queued).
  • By doing smaller batches at first, we can give the new imports more attention (tagging in particular will probably need some cleanup) and also tune the process. If we start by importing with votes, we can also see if that's *actually* destabalizing or if that's not a concern after all.
