Look at how we can get some content at startup... for the new folks forking and running the project

Now uSync handles the rest... but also some intial content would be ace
I actually had this as a package idea - a Lorem Ipsum content generator for initially setting up a site. It's a pain in the ass task and it would also perhaps make me get on and finish my package for it too
sounds good!
Maybe if we ask nice Kevin can give us a dev license for uSync content edition... that just works locally + maybe xip.io domains...
uSync Content Edition doesn't require a license
@skttl ... well I be damned... thanks :)
I had a ebook -> content generator somewhere - so you could push a load of ebook stuff into umbraco - used it mainly for load testing.
The localgov starter kit, used a slightly modified bit of code to call uSync.Core - https://github.com/KevinJump/LocalGovStarterKit/blob/v6-main/Src/Jumoo.StarterKit.Installer/ContentImporter.cs
and it also had some code to importe the LGNL (UK Localgoverment navigation list - which you can get as an XML feed)
it did it from a dashboard after you installed it. https://github.com/KevinJump/LocalGovStarterKit/blob/v6-main/Src/LGStarterKit.Site/App_Plugins/lgsk/StarterKitInstall.ascx
this should be simpler with v8 version of uSync
Ok uSync content edition has been added :)
For now I'll close this one.... if we need more advance stuff like Kevin mentions we can add new issue
Sounds good - thanks for the info @KevinJump
It might be an idea to add some info to the readme for anyone less familiar with uSync, and also generally for the initial website setup so we can get to a common starting point with a database containing content AND structure sooner rather than later
@CarlSargunar good idea, feel free to update the readme :)
