I hear you, leo. I didn't mean to imply that /you/ should have to do the conversion yourself, just that I've applied a fairly complex hack and it's up to me to also hack my way out of it.
Everything I've read on drupal.org indicates that flexinode was meant as a "proof of concept". I've only been around Drupal for about a year though, and started on 4.7, so your take is helpful. I don't see why the community hasn't stepped up on this.
It seems to me that though many developers are listed for flexinode, only one person is really active on in updating it, and he's focused on converting 4.6 to 4.7. Maybe the lesson learned is to not base an entire site on a module with such a tiny developer community - and of course a newbie can't know.
I'm a little iffy on the user interface and form development aspects of drupal, but if I can manage a hack that you might be able to use, I'll be happy to share.
I wonder if the import/export module will help, though that's in 4.7....
