ImpEx: Write custom script for homebrew forum

[FBChris]

I just purchased vBulletin and am looking at the ImpEx system.

I did have my homemade message board and want to import it. I did take a look at the pre-made ImpEx systems scripts.

Is there a developer manual available?

What about my forum structure, it is pretty straight forward. Is there any of the systems which has a similar structure? This can be a good starting point for creating my own import scripts.
