newbie to Hero Wars

Hello,

I've known about RuneQuest and Glorantha for some time (although I'm far from an expert on the latter), and am quite new to Hero Wars (soon to be HeroQuest). But I'm going to be starting up a campaign very soon (perhaps two), and have some questions about the resources already in my collection:

• Are there Hero Wars "translations" about for Apple Lane, SnakePipe Hollow, Borderlands, Griffin Mountain, and other RQ2 campaign/adventure stuff?

  I don't mind doing the work myself, but it would seem silly for   me to do it if someone has already gone to the trouble and made   it available on the 'net somewhere.

• Are there any guidelines about for how best to approach the translation issue? Given the way the two systems work, I can see that a direct, predictable mechanic of translation from RQ2/3 to HW is probably not possible, but has anyone settled on some good, general rules of thumb that have been publicized?
• I assume that this list, and not the Glorantha digest, is the proper place to ask such questions?

Thanks for your patience in answering questions that I'm sure have been asked and answered before.
