[Building Sakai] Blackboard 6+ import from archive file

Sam,

Thanks. I have it "working". It does import some content, but very limited. I guess my question was geared more toward the translator implementations. For example, the Bb6DiscussionBoardTranslator. It only has stubbed-out methods implemented from IMSResourceTranslator:

public class Bb6DiscussionBoardTranslator implements IMSResourceTranslator {

	public String getTypeName() {
		return "resource/x-bb-discussionboard";
	}

	public boolean processResourceChildren() {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return false;
	}

	public Importable translate(Node resourceNode, Document descriptor,
			String contextPath, String archiveBasePath) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		return null;
	}
}

Most of the translators are like this, which means they do essentially nothing. Has anyone done any further work getting these implemented?

Thanks,
Bob

Mainly just some resources, announcements, and some Samigo tests and question pools. I know that there really wasn't much functionality to begin with, just curious if anyone has worked with the code above?
