Convert Google Sites to markdown

Prerequisites

Liberate your sites from google using Google Sites Liberation

Here's what it looks like for a google apps domain:

note: if you have two-factor authentication, you'll probably have to generate a password for this

Requirements

• java 1.7
• maven

Usage

1. Make sure your environment's jvm is 1.7

    # verify the version
    java -version
    # set the JAVA_HOME to the appropriate path (like this on osx)
    export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.7.0.jdk/Contents/Home
   

2. Run the conversion

    export MAVEN_OPTS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
    mvn compile
    mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="jon.Convert" -Dexec.args="/path/to/exported/sites/ /path/to/markdown/destination"
   

3. Use gollum to host your new wiki!
