PHP-Portal Project should be completely new, and at most, provide some tool to import data from older CMS' (whatever could be imported like accounts, news, forums, etc...).
The potential problem with that approach is that it would break many, if not all, of the addons, modules, themes, etc. that make Nuke popular. It doesn't HAVE to break them, but it COULD. We could possibly also develop some sort of bridge to make the "old" stuff (or at least most of it) work with PHP-Portal.

I'm curious about something, I notice that certain things like disipals converter block/module is effective at converting html to php and other things as well,
Perhaps if its possible, we could create a theme converter. Upload the WHOLE theme then read contents of files one by one and make appropriate changes, now I know this is possible with php but am not skilled enough to develope it but have a basic idea of how to code it, would take me years to actually write such a thing as I would need to learn a whole lot!!
Thats just themes, If possible It could be coded to modify anything that worked with php-nuke, also adding a nice little security vulnerability checker would be nice too.
Just a thought.

Yeah, I think that would be a great idea, but, IMHO, extremely difficult to accomplish. The themes are driven by functions, which is really the ONLY API for these blasted things. Therefore, although it is great for theme designers because if they think they have a better mousetrap, they can build it as long as the API stays the same (i.e., OpenTable(), CloseTable(), and much, much, much more). Bottom line is, there are from 10 - 100 different ways these themes could be constructed in order to convert them all. A very different problem statement than converting HTML to a PHP-Nuke block.
