Simple way to change content ownership?

[Mark Phillips]

Is there a simple way to change the ownership of a piece of content? I have a site with scores of members who created several remember/membrane logins. I would like to consolidate the content for each user into one account and then delete the unnecessary accounts. However, I need a way to change the ownership of the content I move. There is a new experimental product (http://plone.org/products/iw-memberreplace/) available, but only for Plone 3.x. I am running on Plone 2.5. Thanks for any suggestions you may have!

You can install collective.novate, which does it properly. Note you want
to add http://good-py.appspot.com/admin/plone.autoform/1.0b2 to your
'extends' line in buildout as well.

Or you can use /ownership_form in Plone (tack it on the end of the URL).
Note that this has problems with its recursive algorithm, though.

Make that:

extends =
   # whatever else you have here plus
   http://good-py.appspot.com/release/plone.autoform/1.0b2

What problems does the ownership form have with its recursive algorithm?

It doesn't change the Creator(s) metadata fields deeper than level 2, I
think.
