When USMAI migrated from Drupal to Confluence, we did a bulk import of HTML
that worked very well. I wrote a script to scrape the web page and name
files based on their HTML title. The only thing is I can't remember exactly
how we did the import -- either through the UI or directly on the server.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in trying, let me know
and I can scrounge my notes and speak with the admin I worked with to get
it all working.
