Yep -- I want to be able to have the metadata in the database but the
content elsewhere. One of the cool things is that the metadata can
define a location for the content by URL. So we're encouraging all the
folks who want to wrap another site's content in their own... :-)

There's a migration script in
pkg/base_page-x.xx/script/static_page2base_page.pl. But you need to
have the 'static_page' package installed to use it.

The migration script works very well. I migrated a site with ~1700
pages and it worked great.

I'll check this out. Hm... Do you get a bunch of 'cannot require
Class::Blah' messages? (Just to make sure we're getting the same
error... :-)

No and no. Hierarchical security still works just the same, and the
default handler is 'base_page' instead of 'static_page'. You can run
the 'scan_for_new.pl' script (in the pkg/base_page-x.xx/script dir)
periodically to create metadata objects from files in the filesystem.
