Walk over your content types with a page template and create a .csv out of it and use ArcheCSV to import it. It looks like you have ~40 or so articles so it shouldn't be too bad... FWIW, one thing I did last week was bulk import about 500 links into a Plone portal from an unordered list of links on a single HTML page. I parsed the page with BeautifulSoup (http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/) and used a Plone Link template (download any Link content type via WebDAV to get the template) to create individual link files that I could just upload via WebDAV.

Your time is too valuable for you to waste it re-building XML support. ;) Just remember to pack the database from the control panel before transferring it, and it should be a decent size (depending on the content, of course).

There was a talk at the Plone conf about it. http://plone.org/events/conferences/seattle-2006/presentations/PloneConference2006-GenericSetup.pdf/view Also check out CMFFolderExport: http://palladion.com/home/tseaver/software/CMFFolderExport Good luck.
