Description We don't have any automated testing for forum drivers or import.

Problems:
1) It needs real data which we probably don't want to put in git. But we could put it in a separate repository of test data.
2) It needs regularly maintaining for newer versions of software. If we don't do this, automated testing is pretty irrelevant. $$$
3) The software being imported may not be free to use.
4) There's a seriously long-tail of potential software to integrate.
5) It can't be done in straight-forward automated tests, as creating/breaking a complete installation is required.

This can be done bit-by-bit if we have sponsors.
