Import existing projects from Basecamp
Import existing project files from Basecamp
Hi All,
We can only afford to do it as professional services billed hourly job for our current and prospect clients, sorry.
Basecamp changes API, versions of product and ways data can be taken out all the time and we have no resources to catch up.
I hope you understand. Please contact help@freedcamp.com if you want to talk to us directly.
Cheers,
Igor

Basecamp makes exports available in HTML format. Is it possible that we would then be able to import those files into Freedcamp? I am most concerned about discussions.

No progress, sorry. Have other higher priorities right now.

Hi Vladislav,
Name was cleared with 37signals before Freedcamp launched. Name has nothing to do with this request. We do not mind to have imports from other system as well as provide API in Freedcamp so you can move elsewhere.
I just wanted to say that people leaving Basecamp for whatever reason, taking in account our resources can not be our priority right now.
We will try in turn to keep our own API always backward compatible so other will not suffer.
I hope this explains it out better.
Cheers

"Since we never wanted to be a free replacement for Basecamp and Basecamp users" — this is a very bold comment from service called Freedcamp, Igor.

Unfortunately all these articles out there are still mentioning Basecamp import functionality. They were not written by us and we have no power to edit them all. We used to have such import until Basecamp changed API making it not backward compatible.
We are happy to redo it in the future but for now our very small team is concentrated on other things we think are more important.
Since we never wanted to be a free replacement for Basecamp and Basecamp users are just a tiny fraction of 12K people joining us monthly we can not afford to do it right now, sorry about that.
