As a result, users will need to re-join +groups and re-follow their fellow users after the import. + +(This limitation may be lifted in future for sites on the Silver or Gold +plans where the import is done by a verified admin, as it should be possible +to fetch the information for each user via the admin account.) + + +Authentication +-------------- + +Account passwords cannot be retrieved, but the primary e-mail address is +retained so users can reset their passwords by mail if you're not using a +custom authentication system like LDAP. + + +Private messages and groups +--------------------------- + +At this time, only public messages are imported; private direct and group +messages are ignored. (This may change with Silver and Gold plans in future.) + +Yammer groups may be either public or private. Groups in StatusNet currently +have no privacy option, so any private groups will become public groups in the +imported site. + + +Attachments +----------- + +Attached image and document files will be copied in as if they had been +uploaded to the StatusNet site. Currently images do not display inline like +they do on Yammer; they will be linked instead. + +File type and size limitations on attachments will be applied, so beware some +attachments may not make it through. + |
