[Using Sakai] migrate from angel to sakai?

[Nate Angell]

Ah, the inconveniences of a proprietary system ;)

I don't have a good example/contact handy of an institution that has  
moved from Angel, but I'm expecting that more will be headed that way  
sooner rather than later, so you will not be alone.

The format of the end result you need is fairly straightforward, so as  
you say, the trick would be to create the proper Angel db queries. If  
you do work in this area, I'm sure others would be very interested and  
willing to collaborate, so I encourage you to share anything you find  
out or come up with back to this list.
