converting pathfinder to ED3rd

Hi all, i know that this topic cannot be a regular one from me (i usual discuss about rules and setting).
in these days i have a pathfinder group i play casually 1 saturday ever 2 weeks, but i have actually to say i dont like pathfinder (3.5) rules anymore after having tasted ED again.
so, i am actually making a conversion from pathfinder to ED3rd
the other way around, some can say :)

isnt an easy task, but is a funny one.
converting some classes has been easy, others are really complex to traduce in ED terms.
i was also working on the feats as knacks or looking to incorporate into the main disciplines.
there are other out here that have done the same and want to share their ideas with mine ?
thanks

Cool idea. I've been converting some OSR/Greyhawk material, so I'm interested in conversions and have experience with the ED3 design guidelines.

I played a lot of 3/3.5 but then stopped playing a bit while the whole "Pathfinder" thing happened, so I haven't read many of their books aside from the basic material.

What sort of material are you looking to convert? We can start with a few examples.

sorry telarus, was busy doing other stuff.
i had in mind to convert classes into disciplines that arent already present in the ED rules
there are many (fighters > swordmasters, warriors, archers; rogues > thieves; bards > troubadours; wizards > wizards, illusionists, elementalists, nethermancers) already "covered" but many arent.

i am focusing on
- sorcerers
- witches
- paladins
- druids
- clerics
- alchemists
- rangers
