Hi cristian and welcome to the forums.

I don't think there is a guide for this. Depending on the scale and type(s) of content i think a migration from Evo to PW often is relatively simple.

I have done 1 Evo to PW migration. This only consisted of a couple of hundred news pages in Evo. These pages had their own template and a couple of template variables attached to them. So what i've done is run a couple of sql queries via phpmyadmin to get the page data and it's associated template variable data. I then exported the stuff to a csv file.

Then after some minor adjustments to the csv i imported it with this module: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/import-pages-csv/

Of course, before doing so, make sure you've set up the template(s) and fields you need in PW. This is a very simple example; if the data you wish to migrate is more complex and/or high volume you would have to make use of the excellent PW api to achieve this.

If you could give some more details i'm sure there are people on this forum that can give you some further help.

I've done it with a few MODx Evo sites too and plan to convert more when I have time, but mine were only up to a dozen pages in that case where it's probably easier just to copy and paste the data once you've got the structure sorted in ProcessWire.

Like SiNNuT says, if you give us more details I'm sure we can help further.
