Can we keep the same URLs as the current site? Alternatively, can we
map from one URL scheme to another in such a way that we can use
redirection?

Next step would be to look at migrating the data. I'll get a dump of
the current moin data to Jonathan.

Please note that posts aggregated will be subject to the Ubuntu Code
of Conduct, whereas members' posts aggregated on other planets are not
necessarily subject to the same requirement. I recommend that members
provide a specific feed for this planet if they feel the need to be
disrespectful on occasion...
