> Is there a LJ export file we can import from?
Sort of (that's what the old one used) - if you're OK with individually
exporting per month, and then manually importing each file :-/
> Does it have to use a HTTP API?
Only known option that gives access to all posts + comments.
> Does the API support iteration?
Yes, which is what it uses, but with the comments in particular, you need
to "collect them all up" so that you can re-thread them, because they come
across the wire in "last edited" order, so they're not very structured
(other than their LJ DB ids)
