In ascending order of effort:
We greatly appreciate donated data from existing forums to improve the migration and its testing (using partial, anonymized records). A complete database dump is best way to do this. We protect privacy, but you're welcome to anonymize personally-identifiable information first. Willing to sign an extremely narrow NDA for the purpose if necessary. Contact lincoln@icrontic.com.
Start a discussion if you've hit a problem, including as much detail as possible and any error message or logs available. We don't currently maintain a formal issue tracker.
Did you successfully use Nitro Porter? Start a discussion to tell us all about it! What platforms were you migrating between and how much data was involved? Was it confusing at all?
Send a pull request with a proposed fix! It's greatly appreciated. Please document your understanding of the change, it makes review much easier! Try using conventional commits for a nicer changelog.
Check the developer guide for info on extending Nitro Porter to support a new source or target. It's pretty straightforward!
