your site.

Extending node_import (for developers)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bugs and shortcomings

   does not create content types!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The original author (version 4.5) of this module is Moshe Weitzman (weitzman).
Neil Drumm (drumm) rewrote the module for 4.6 (which he never released as
such).

The port of the module to 4.7 and some new features were provided by:
 - David Donohue (dado),
 - Nic Ivy (njivy).

Robrecht Jacques (robrechtj) is the current active maintainer of the module
and he provided the ports to 5.x and 6.x (rewrite).

Best way to contact the developers to report bugs or feature requests is by
visiting the node_import project page at http://drupal.org/project/node_import.

If you have a problem with a specific file (CSV or TSV), it helps the authors
if you attach a (small) file that shows the problem. When you do, mention how
you configured the type you are trying to import, eg what vocabularies you
have defined, whether the content type is event- or location-enabled, etc.
