I have been trying out various wiki technologies to replace the twiki install we are currently running at my workplace (it's just getting too slow and having tried a number of plugins, I have failed to make it fast enough).
One that looks good is XWiki.
Are there any tools out there to support this migration?
Or is this more a scripting question for stackoverflow?
Examples of differences:
XWiki:
1 Heading 1 1.1 Heading 2 1.1.1 Heading 3 1.1.1.1 Heading 4
TWiki:
---+ Heading 1 ---++ Heading 2 ---+++ Heading 3 ---++++ Heading 4

I know XWiki is working on a Wiki Importer ("à la" Conluence UWC), the version 1.0 has been released, but I don't know what it includes. I'd suggest asking this question on XWiki's user list.
FYI, starting with XWiki Enterprise 1.7, XWiki provides other syntaxes in addition to XWiki's syntax: MediaWiki, Confluence, JSPWiki, Creole, TWiki and more. Actually, it's even possible to use TWiki's syntax as default. This might be interesting in your context (but doesn't solve the automated import issue).
: Magic, I had no idea about the syntax configuration! I've tried it for a couple of simple pages and it doesn't work that well... but is certainly readable (headers are shown as text, but at least they are not strike-thru'dPascal Thivent : If you are facing some glitches, report them, I'm sure the XWiki guys will fix them. http://jira.xwiki.orgFrom Pascal Thivent -
Have you considered upgrading to Foswiki ( http://foswiki.org/ )? It is a fork of TWiki with already more than 200 bugs fixed, so changes are it is also faster. There is also FASTCGIEngine contrib extension ( http://foswiki.org/Extensions/FastCGIEngineContrib ) for Foswiki, which should speed up the system dramatically. Foswiki also has a rather active and large community of users and developers which in my line of thinking means you well be able to get more updates to the product in the future.
Switch to Foswiki would also be a good point of reflection for your plugins. Removing some of less needed plugins is always worth considering.
