Standalone 1.1.x to 2.0 Database Converter

That depends mostly on the other platform and what their converter is like.

Wordpress or Magento comes to mind

Two completely different things that aren't even forums.

Well... speaking from experience, WP's user system is quite different to SMF's, you would have to get your users to re-fill in their password. (Let me put it this way, for something I'm working on, I wanted to import from a WP database to SMF's. I spent hours going through the rat's nest that is WP's code, trying to make sense of how passwords were generated there. There's no way to convert the password between SMF and WP's format at all, it's not possible, so if you move to WP you'd have to get your users to 'forgot your password?' to change it.)

Magneto is an e-commerce package, not a forum. I don't know about Magneto so much but I've seen it bridged to SMF. You don't tend to 'move' the data between systems when it's something like that, you tend to bridge it and let one handle the work while the other picks up on the information it needs.

Ok kool, i think the have smf and wordpress bridge as well , so i guess that could be an option.

Actually WP's (2.5+) password format is the same as phpBB3's passwords, so you could use phpbb3 password check function in SMF if you were to migrate users.  I found this in writing a wordpress bridge recently.

Well, specifically it is only if WP's using portable hashes (which, admittedly is the default), if it's not, it's using Blowfish or other methods.
