Description

@hanEck

Currently the VIM websites has a mysql database, which has to be migrated to strapi. The columns of interest for a first migration are the users and the scripts. Following thoughts/discussions have been made:
=> Users could be migrated on the fly => Additional requirement is to use a new hashing algorithm for the password
=> There script tables of interest for a first migration are: vs_scripts, vs_script_source, vs_script_ratings, vs_script_downloads
=> Topic is also strong related with seeding

Issues/concerns:
=> When migrating scripts, there is a direct connection to the users
- This is critical if the user migration is done on the fly => All scripts should be available from the beginning even though only a limited amount of users is migrated
- Possible solution: Adding placeholder users for not migrated users and only actually migrate and connect them to scripts in case of on the fly migration (e.g. first login)
