RE: [Apc-aa-coders] Import / Export backward compatability

[Jakub A. <jak...@se...>]

Mitra,

IMHO I believe export / import was never so much working that anybody
would have any data of value exported. I believe you can do without
backward compatibility. But it's only my humble opinion.

And as I write this, I will add that: It's really great for AA that you
are working on this. If you care about history, the slice export /
import in a very simple version was created by me in my very beginnings
with AA and PHP (one and a half year ago). It was re-written by some
extern staff in Econnect who didn't care enough and who was confused
with my beginners code. It was never working for me when I needed it. 

I am not sure if others have any experiences with export / import?
