Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

There is a requirement related to importing existing data, and we hope you can discuss ideas and implementation approaches.

Describe the solution you'd like

This is not a core function, so it can be considered as a plugin, and the following points need to be considered:

• Default include a unified import template, allowing users to create import content based on the template
• It is also possible to select data from different platforms and import it accordingly
• Whether the import process involves the import of tags, users, votes, and accepted answers
• Whether the import process should download remote images in the main text

This is a great feature. Many users may have their own system before using Answer. They always want to move data from the old system directly to the new system.

• Using a CSV or JSON format template might be a good option.
• For tag data, if it does not exist, it will be created directly; if there is an existing tag, it will be linked automatically.
• For user data, it may be more troublesome to create it directly, involving email passwords and other information. Perhaps it is a good choice to associate with existing users.
• If the original system provides a full link to the image in the content, perhaps it would be better to download it and upload it directly to the new system. Because some content loses information without images.
