Great. You can download the tool for Linux here: wfimport (64-bit). To use it to migrate to Write.as:

  • Create a Write.as account
  • On your WriteFreely site, go to the Export page and click either the “json” or “prettified” option to download all account data
  • Download and extract the wfimport tool linked above
  • Run it on that exported JSON file with the following command, replacing username with your Write.as username and exportdata.json with the downloaded filename:
./wfimport -u username exportdata.json
  • Enter your Write.as account password

At this point it’ll import all blogs (“collections”) and posts to your Write.as account.

Note: if any blogs in your data export share an alias with a blog you already own, those posts will be published to your existing blog. Otherwise it’ll create a new blog and publish the posts to it. Also, if that alias is taken by another Write.as user, the blog simply won’t be imported at all right now.

Here is the source code for this tool. Let me know if you run into any issues.
