Ha, that's great - thanks Perry.
My favourite snippets:
"At the end of it all TMS is a MS-SQL database and, in 2013, it still
feels like an epic struggle just to get the raw data out of TMS so that
single task is principally what these tools deal with."
"We are making this code available because we're all in the TMS soup
together and maybe the work we've done so far can help others and going
forward we can try to make things a little better, together."
"There is no attempt to interpret the data or the reconcile the twisty
maze of relationships between the many tables in TMS. That is left as an
exercise to the reader. This is not a one-button magic pony. This is
code that works for us today. It has issues. If you choose to use it you
will probably discover new issues. Yay, adventure!"
...maybe we won't build a TMS extension for our WordPress plugin after
all...
