Letter to XMission Photo Gallery (Gallery2) Customers



XMission Photo Gallery Discontinued
---------------------------

We are sorry to notify our photo gallery customers that, due to a lack of customer
interest, XMission has decided to no longer provide a photo gallery service. Before
shutting down the service, we can help you migrate your gallery to a free
hosted service.

Visit our wiki for suggestions of a free hosted photo gallery solutions on the
web and instructions on how to move your gallery data to that new service:
 http://wiki.xmission.com/index.php?title=Migration:Gallery2

If you have a gallery that you want to move, we ask that you migrate it
before the end of June. If you migrate your gallery somewhere, email
support@xmission.com with the new address and we'll automatically redirect
requests from your old XMission gallery to the new location for a year.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter. If you
need help with any of the steps outlined in our instructions, or have
other questions call or email support@xmission.com


Moving from XMission Gallery 2 to an online Gallery

Our suggestion is to use the ‘Migratr’ software (http://www.callingshotgun.net/about/migratr/).

Migratr is a desktop application which moves photos between popular photo sharing services. Migratr will also migrate your metadata, including the titles, tags, descriptions and album organization. Whether you want to copy your photos from Flickr to Faces, Picasa to Phanfare, or Zenfolio to Zooomr, Migratr is the app for you. Migratr will copy your photos FROM any supported photo service, TO any supported photo service.

Migratr supports exporting to and from the following services:

  • 23HQ
  • Aol Pictures (Import Only) (CLOSING)
  • Faces.com
  • Flickr
  • Menalto Gallery/Gallery2 (Self-Hosted)
  • Picasa Web
  • Phanfare
  • Photobucket
  • SmugMug
  • Zenfolio
  • Zooomr

Migratr is available on Windows only. If you require assistance in migrating your photos off, we can do it for you if you provide us with your XMission gallery username/password, and your destination gallery username/password.
