If you have the same problem as we have, that most of your technical documentation has been input into Glasnost but that you want to move to Apache 2 and Glasnost doesn't support it, then you are likely to be looking into a way to convert these Glasnost articles to HTML to insert them in some other tool.
This is a work in progress, so although we wanted to be able to do a one or two-parts script that extracts articles from Glasnost, converts them to HTML and inputs them into Drupal 6, we have been unable to do so (so far) because of the inadequacy of the Drupal solution (we looked into modules to manage access permissions but they're unpractical, so we are looking for another solution, probably altering the "node permission by role" module to give correct default access values to existing pages/blocks).
Anyway, Frédéric Peters, an acquaintance from the BxLUG, gave us a python script to work on, which I have slightly modified to add more information in the HTML output, and here it is. It is licensed under GNU/GPL v2+, so feel free to use it.
