Is the SX migration tool ready?

Hello, I apologize if this question is a duplicate, I've checked the OSQA Wiki and this site throughly before asking.

So is the migration tool to migrate a Stack Exchange site ready and if so, where can I obtain it? Under SVN?

To give you guys some background, I'm trying to migrate my SX site, CircleToLand.com to OSQA. I have OSQA installed on DreamHost (excellent wiki how-to btw, it was MUCH easier than installing on my local machine).

Thanks!

Yes, is ready and there are lots of successful migrations already. pretty much all you need to do, is to make sure your in a fairly recent revision (we added some additional features to the importer, like importing static pages), have a blank database, create one and only one user, log in with that user and go to path /admin/sximporter/. Select your database dump, and your user id at stack exchange, upload, sit back and wait a bit.

Good luck :)
