@chris That’s a good question, thanks for asking.

Thinking about your question, and @gwmngilfen reply makes me wonder should we import everything, or be selective?

- Does it make sense to bulk-import everything, including unanswered questions?
- It it worth the time/effort to review and work out if a post is good?

I expect the answer will be to bulk-import everything, though there maybe something better we can do.

The lack of meta data around Google Groups (ie, is this post [solved](https://www.discourse.org/plugins/solved.html)) is yet another reason we want to move from Google Groups to This Forum (Discourse).
