Can anyone point me to any conversion scripts? Even if there's not one for Movabletype, if I can convert that to something else, and then to XOOPS (or even another in between), that'd still be nice

Thanks fooups :)

Can anyone tackle my other questions? (pls :))

That GM site is a very nice example of what I'm looking to do.

I have a question - can news have multiple categories? (that'd be huge)

RSS:
For syndicating: I don't see an rss feed on here for this site's news, nor on GM's - is there anything built-in so people can grab an rss feed of one's site? (or a plug-in?)

For displaying: can I list something like 20 feeds on my site and then just have the 10 latest display on the front page and then have a separate page with everything from the last week or so - again - all mixed (with maybe a list of where they're all coming from on the bottom)? If not built in - does this seem like an easy thing to accomplish?

Thanks for taking the time to answer these?
(oh, one more, I assume there are a few who offer XOOPS customization services for a fee?)

One other question: is it possible to have the rss feeds I'd like to display on my site appear in categories?

Yes, it seems it can do most - but is there something I need that it cannot do?

I've posted this on a couple of different cms/blog/site-solution sites.

I'd like to "beef-up" an MT site. It's sports-related, only one person posting news and rumors. Moving away from "just a blog" to wanting an interactive site with others being involved.

Main things to add:
* user registration
* user submittion of news with approval system
* easy reading of other rss feeds (with caching and good management)

Main things to keep:
* does not want to lose the ability to edit/block comments
* does not want to lose the ability to assign things to multiple categories
* still have rss feeds (possibly one for different news categories or even multiple-blogs)

Wouldn't mind:
* possibly adding a forum and having one user registration, but it's secondary (besides the newbb, although it is a nice simple one)
* importing movabletype stuff (would really like this actually)

Thoughts?
