Tool to migrate Yahoo groups to Trello

Philip Ramer October 26, 2019

I love Trello.  There are lots of Yahoo groups that it would be nice to move to Trello.  Yahoo groups will be deleted in December.  Is there a way to do this?

I did it manually but a tool would be nice.  A way to preserve conversations would be good too.

@Philip RamerUnfortunately I'm not aware of a tool to do this.  Part of the problem is that Yohoo groups is more focused on messages, whereas Trello is more about cards/tasks.

That means the "translation" of Yahoo groups to Trello is highly context dependent.

Hmm... I am really curious how you'd replicate a yahoo group with Trello.  Its a really intriguing concept.  Could you share more about how you are organizing this information in Trello?

Here is a link to my board https://trello.com/b/cL5pgnPQ/free-aircraft-plans it is a place to share free plans for aircraft. In a yahoo group email conversations are also posted on the board.  I guess there would be a way to forward the email thread to a card and then those cards could be moved to a discussion list.  With yahoo groups uploaded plans were hard to browse and had to be downloaded to veiw this works better on Trello for sure
